British Comedy Guide

House of Games

OK - it needs its own thread because we keep mentioning it elsewhere and it's usually stand-up comedians who do well.

And I've noticed it's often the ones who've been to posh universities who've won a lot. It's another outlet for them to show off - it's this blatant careerist element of it that depresses me, just another page in their portfolio. Posh uni-footlights-Edinburgh fringe-stand up tours-dvd-panel shows-Twitter-Richard Osman game shows-primetime sitcom - The gold standard stand up's career path. :(

Sally Philips on this week as well as Ronni Ancona.

Colin Murray is in the lead though. Never heard of the other bloke.

Sally always has a look on her face of pure ecstasy on her face.

She was brilliant on Taskmaster

I don't like some of these new games. I know they think they have to freshen things up but the stick man is rubbish and the emojies.

She hardly made an effort. Mae and the others hovered over their buzzers and she just sat back.

Nah

She's just gormless!

Well yes. But she likes her frozen peas. And she's not scared.

Watching tonight's and obviously this one was filmed before lockdowns. The lack of spacing seems suddenly alarming.

It's usually the case that Stand-Ups do very well in this - until Lou Sanders came on the show.

And didn't know what this painting is, having never seen it, he claimed.

He should be arrested for not knowing that painting.
