Ha! Ha! Ha! Spot on, sir!

You both need to experience more stand up then.
Quote: sootyj @ July 31 2012, 9:25 PM BSTBut aside from Boyle I can't remember the last time I actually laughed at a standup.
Look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh!
You're not really a standup though.
You're a story teller with a technological driven meta narrative that contains humour.
I always love them!

I've never liked Tim Key but I did enjoy him in Mid Morning Matters.
Quote: Oldrocker @ July 31 2012, 9:29 PM BSTAnd, as far as I know, he never took opprobrium.
It's a useful comparison. Miller offended a lot of people in a way that's difficult to understand now. Adjectives like 'anti-establishment' and 'anarchic' are always bandied around comics. When we get one who genuinely is that people don't like it. The reality is simply that most people are more than comfortable with the status quo.

Have you ever seen him do live stand up? Because he's brilliant.
Yes and I didn't enjoy him.
Quote: Lee @ August 2 2012, 12:41 PM BSTYes and I didn't enjoy him.
Are you sure?
No, but if you insist. Then yes, he's bloody brilliant!
I'm sure I've liked him on something.
I'm not surprised that sooty can't remember the names of the MTW panellists as they are all pretty much interchangeable. You could assemble most of the current crop of comedians and get them to read out each others material and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
At least with Boyle, you're getting a distinctive comedy voice.
True, he does have a very silly accent.
Sootyj watched MTW once or twice it seemed to be HIGNFY for bullies and simpletons.
So he went back to watching Walker Texas Ranger.
Maybe the episode where the Dali Llama duffed up an evil spirit with a wheel kick.
