First shows were great then its been downhill since then.

[RUL]

I think he's still pretty steady compared to some, is this brand new stuff tour?.

 

Went to see Jon Richardson, gash and mickey Flannigan is it, his new stuff is truly hopeless.

[Parklife]

Pre-sale tomorrow from 10am, according to email I received. General sale on Wednesday.

How the fuck has he managed to play the Hydro for all of October, he's funny but he's nae THAT funny.

Problem with going to see the likes of Kevin Bridges in these huge venues, is that it attracts a certain type of crowd.

 

Generally cunts

Aye cheers. I didn’t appreciate pre-sale was tomorrow.

Hopefully I’m one of the cunts who gets tickets.

Easy way to start Christmas present buying.

[Chewie37]

Met him on a night out, decent lad.

[Bluto10]

Shut it, daddy long legs

Bloots would have to be with a girl to develop a rep of disappointing them.

In Scotland, reputations for being funny grow into myths which persist long after any talent for humour has long gone.

 

See: Billy Connolly (last seen being genuinely funny in the 1980s)

 

Plus stand up gigs create a hype all of their own - folk go along desperate to laugh and so you could tell "why did the chicken cross the road?" and folk would be absolutely pissing themselves laughing.

...an atmosphere and expectation which, lamentably, transmits itself to the queue at the bar or the queue for the bogs or whatever. Suddenly, every cunt thinks they're also a fucking comedian. News flash: you aren't.

 

Which is just one reason why 'comedy clubs' are about the worst places on earth.

[Bluto10]

^^^^. So true

 

Never been to a comedy club or stand up though.

 

 

 

Festivals are the same.

Us Scots do love something to leech on to. I see plenty fascinating with the singer boy Gerry Cinnamon now.

The problem, he explains, isn’t hecklers, but wildly drunken audience members who just roar at almost everything he says. “What people don’t realise sometimes is that, you know, in Glasgow, we done 16 nights and that’s 180,000 tickets. So if 1% of them are arseholes, that’s 1,800 arseholes. That’s a lot. It’s a vocal minority, but it gets a bit … when somebody’s just shouting ‘Kevin!’ or just shouting old fucking jokes – they just shout anything. It’s not even heckling. Aye, and it’s like they don’t realise that every single night there’s one of them, so maybe that’s where the frustration comes some nights. It gets a bit frustrating if somebody’s all about themselves.”

Weren’t you a fan of the Fringe? Late night boozing and plenty of shows to choose from? Admittedly a huge influx of wanks too

The opening hours. Yes.

The boozing. Yes.

The festival shows. No.

The wacky people. No.

I'd set the bar a bit higher than that.
