Quote: Dolly Dagger @ December 28 2009, 10:34 AM GMTMaking conversation with my pissed father on Boxing Day, he said "but everyone thinks your comedy is rubbish." I asked "like who?" to which he replied "Me. I'm not being rude pet, but you're as funny as cancer. Shouldn't you put some salt in that?"
Yes but luckily your dad isn't a commissioning editor. The only person that matters regarding your comedy (apart from yourself - natch) is the person that spends money on your work. So love him for being your dad but don't pay heed. You will be proved right.
My first trial at film-making (when I was in school), I showed around other people's houses to polite comments. At my nan's home, the complete SlagA family gathered to watch the film and in the short silence before the lights went back on, my father shouted rather loudly "Rubbish!"
I died a little. But I still long to hear a whole audience shout "Rubbish" one day.
