Brit stand up comics

Gonna see Micky Flanagan at the co-op seems a funny guy

Saw him in Nottingham last year. He was very good for most of it. His skit on cancel culture wasn’t great though. Doesn’t really work when you’re playing to arenas!
 
When you look back at the likes of those who were on The Comedians, you watched and went into work the next day and shared the joke with colleagues at work. They were jokes. Not related to each other, just jokes that usually simply took the piss out of someone..
Now "comedians" have a routine based on a story they've written or experienced with funny bits added / exaggerated to produce laughs.
I listen to Hawksbee and Jacob's on Talk Bollocks and it seems to be daily they are interviewing some comedian I've never heard of plugging his new tour, and they are always asked "what can we expect on this tour" and "jokes" is never the answer..... it's always a story with a plot.......

Someone once said that there are only really seven different jokes.
 
Saw Rhod Gilbert at the Lowry this year. Wasnt sure what to expect but found him very good. Much of his material related to his recent health issues which he was full of praise of the NHS for his treatment.
