I actually dont mind him (RR) , but its the fact hes on 3 tv programmes most nights , he was on radio 2 today for gods sake , hes not that funny is he and are we so short of decent comedians that he's on overtime ??
The old school stand up did make me laugh out loud , but just imagine Bernard Manning or Jimmy Tarbuck on 3 times tonight , and 3 times tomorrow night .
What really bothers me is that some young executive at the BBC decides hes funny ,and therefore we need him ramming down our throats !!!!

Manning was about as funny as woodworm in a cripple's crutch...
 
I don't mind him,he has been a good addition to the league of their own replacing jack whitehall as the one they take the piss out of,he is very over exposed at the moment but can't blame him for making the money whilst his stock is high
 
Comedians are like football clubs. Fans of one comedian boast about how many arenas they can fill. Others boast about ratings on TV. Or my comedian has more awards than you. Take Tim Vine. 5 mins of puns has me crying. It's immature and silly most of the time but a full stand up show of puns is too much for me.

Bollocks. The only thing Bernard Manning sold out were XXL Y-fronts in greenwoods men's store; )

I had my stag do at the Embassy club in 93, my mate Chris heckled him so much the bouncers moved us all to an alcove near the back of the club.

I think we got slung out(scant recollection due to being pissed) before Manning had finished his act by a couple of big rough as fuck bouncers. My mate Chris was a cheeky fucker at the time asking one of the mean looking bouncers for a light. - "Have you got a light mate?"... Bouncer took a lighter from his pocket looking bemused before asking where his cigarette was. "It's here mate" pointing to his dick with a cigarette held by his foreskin. I thought the bouncer was gonna crack my mate with a right hander, but he just laughed telling him to fuck off: )

When I was growing up my dad absolutely hated Bob Monkhouse. I couldn't understand how he could hold someone, who was basically just trying to help people laugh and enjoy themselves, in such contempt. Then I watched Patrick Kielty and I knew exactly what he meant. I just found out he is married to Cat Deeley FFS, could he get any worse?

Patrick Kielty is indeed less funny than cancer.

I assume your mate thought Bernard Manning lacked class?

Manning probably thought my mate was cruder. Definitely was and original and piss funny too. He once took the Mike off ex Comedians Mike Lancaster at Bigwigs in Audenshaw and had the crowd howling with laughter for a good 10 minutes. He almost got us killed off Triads in a Triad gambling club on my stag do(long story; )
 
What's people's thoughts on Mickey Flannagan? If you can get over the cockney accent I think he's really funny. Him, Lee Mack, Rhod Gilbert and Greg Davies can make me laugh.
 
I think he has a book out at the moment so that's probably why he's everywhere.
I'm also going to defend Greg Davies as well. If only for Taskmaster which can be absolutely brilliant.
 
I went to watch 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, being recorded last year at Salford Quay,
Sean Lock, Vic Reeves, David Doherty, Aisling Bea were on and was very funny,
my son got picked out by Jimmy Carr and had the piss ripped out of him, he loved it and wore it as a badge of honour.

It's a decent evening out, if anyone wants tickets (free) for this or other shows, they've currently got tickets for Jason Manfords new show, go to this website,
if there's no tickets available for the show you want you can set up an email notification for when tickets become available.
