And of course there was a 'pizza' scene in Full House too.
Pizza and Hot Dog are peedoh code for young girls and boys.... It's rampant throughout the TV and movie industry.

Life is hard enough at the minute without wasting time on rubbish like those posts of yours.

You stay where you are. Take it handy and be well.

Great night. Karl Spain was much better (and swearier) than expected, Bridges was also great. The material was rough in spots but that was to be expected.

A nice surprise on a Monday night (I was a late sub for my brother, who got caught to work and couldn't go), and nice to go to a gig again after so long (last one was Horslips in Nov. '19).

I'm sure they will both be at the Kilkenny Cats laugh festival this year. Thank fuck it is properly on this year

I watched the new Netflix special - "Bill Burr and Friends Who Kill" on Saturday - kinda set up like a massive comedy club show where everyone does 5 minutes.

It's quite an odd experience watching a comedy gig that was attended by people who are afraid to laugh at anything more risque that a knock-knock joke.

You could feel the self-consciousness in the crowd. People looking around to see if anyone else was laughing before they decided it was OK to have a chuckle.

Burr makes a few jokes near the knuckle - you can almost feel the collective woke intake of breath. It sucked the life out of the remainder of his set.

Jimmy Carr gets nothing at all. He does most of his bits to silence or tutting.

Reviews of the show say that all the comedians "bombed" - and while it's true that some of the acts are just not funny - Ronny Chieng's slot in particular has no place in the show (he sang a song - Chieng is a very good comedian, a singer... not so much)  - a lot of it has to do with the audience too.

It must be strange if you're an up and coming comedian who wants to do a darker form of comedy. Maybe I don't know the local scene well enough (I'd only have a very casual interest in comedy), but from what I've seen of the local comedy crowd it's very clean and PC, a lot of them seem to be run by the same people and you get the vibe if a comedian did anything a bit dark they wouldn't get a second gig anywhere.

The Burr thing was shite and Frankie Boyle is a woke annoying prick now. Harvey Price however, watched hours of youtube videos of himself and Jordqn a few weeks back. Laughed ourselves straight into hell.

I'm identifying as a stand up comedian these days. I'm not funny at all but you have to pretend I am so as not to offend me.

Frankie Boyle is less funny than Roy chubby brown and that's saying something. I usually enjoy Bill burr though.

Boyle saw the way the wind was blowing and went along with it to salvage his career. That talk show he does with Miles Jupp is pisspoor as a result.

The Burr show was, with the exception ot Burr himself, largely unfunny, so no surprise it bombed. The song at the end was diabolical, musical comedy is down there with imressions and ventriloquism at the bottom of the barrel.
