    Just back from seeing him in York , what a load of tripe. Can't say me or the audience laughed at all. Funniest part of the show was some of the audience. What a waste of money good on TV for a fast quip but 2 and half hours of suffering.

    He seems a very nice bloke, however I've never really found him funny, I don't really get the humour behind him. It almost feels like it's for children at times - but if that's what some people enjoy, more power to them. Got to get as many laughs in as possible these days!

    Gi'or, his material is so dated, he's got nowt new.

    Kevin Bridges and Mickey Flanagan are the best on the circuit these days. Sean Locke was a sad loss he was quality.

    We went to see Simon Brodkin (used to be Lee Nelson) last year, he was surprisingly good. He dealt with a gobby drunk woman excellently.

    Sean Locke was the funniest man I’ve ever seen. Sad loss. Noble is nowhere near that level.

    "Do you remember [x]? What were all that about eh?"

    *audience pisses themselves laughing*

    I loved Phoenix Nights but don't get him as a standup.

    I once got a free ticket to see Micky Flanagan. I came out feeling like I'd been ripped off.

    My brother was a comedian cum singer in the Working Men's Clubs. He was very good. But they were very hard places to perform.

    Friday night his act went down a storm. Saturday night - the technical term was "he died on his arse "

    A great comedian is one who is performing in front of a great audience. One without the other is a disaster.

    My brother had a get out - he was a good singer and cut the comedy when it was not working and sing for rhe rest of rhe night. A stand up comedian has no where to hide in an environment where there is high expectation from a paying audience.

    Mental strength, and a hard skin, are a must for any one contemplating such a career

    Stand up comedy is very subjective In recent times I have seen Adam Hills Katharine Ryan and Jo Brand who have all been excellent and well worth the time and money, Adam Hills was probably my favourite.
    I used to go to the Comedy store in London occasionally though I've not done that for some time and that was always hit and miss but you cant beat a new up and coming comedian though not seen one whose name stuck for many years

    Back in the mists of time - well the 1990's I used to go to a New Years eve gig which had various guest acts of up and coming talent - 2 stood out the first time I saw them and I remembered their names at the time and was not surprised when they went on to have pretty decent careers
    An impressionist called Rory Bremner and a stand up called Paul Merton ( different years) though most of the acts more forgettable

    Surprised Ross Noble wasnt any good - not someone I was planning to go and see but a small theatre near me sometime gets big stars using it as a try out venue for new material and had he gone there I would probably have tried to get tickets

    I saw a lot of stand ups back in the 90s who went on to have successful careers - Lee Evans, Mark Thomas, Eddie Izzard, Jo Brand to name a few - and the best, without exception was Ken Dodd. Absolutely hilarious for the best part of 2 hours - and stayed behind afterwards to meet him and he was really, really nice taking time out for everyone there.

    I saw Ross at Sheffield City Hall last year and he was fantastic, though I think Lee Mack is the least funny person I've ever heard and he keeps getting work so it might just be my taste

    Agreed. Saw him in Halifax and he was outstanding.
