who is Rosie Jones? And I get I could simply google it, but then what is the point of being here at all

Comedian with cerebral palsy. She's just not funny.

Your one from Extras?

The house alarm went off at 6am. A rude awakening! On the plus side,  it was beautiful going out the front and inhaling the foggy air with the whole place frozen over. You'd almost want to go for a stroll. Almost.... I opted for a cup of tea instead.

[Carnage]

I've never watched Extras, dunno.

There's nothing like getting a lungful of cold winter air, then coming back into a warm kitchen to the smell of brewing coffee. I love being the only one awake in the house in the morning. Do whatever few bits need doing and then sit with a pot of coffee and a book. Heaven.

I know who you mean now. Yeah it's a bit awkward that one

I'd say you're thinking of Francesca Martinez - also a female comedian who has cerebral palsy.

Rosie Jones is not funny - Francesca Martinez can be a bit witty but moreso in interviews than anything else.

I mentioned this in the stand-up thread but some of these comedians now attract an audience who try to out-woke each other rather than laugh at the comedian. I inadvertently ended up seeing Jess Thom perform one evening - she wasn't billed but the support act had pulled out. She walked on stage and all these green-haired wans and men made of corduroy started clapping and whooping before a word was said. I whispered "Who's she?" but before I could get an answer she started her set.

"So, em, yeah, my dad the other day from cunt-wobbly-dick-fuck- out of nowhere says to me that I need to start thinking about my future. Piss-piss-PISS! PISS!!!"

This went on for about a minute or more before she calmed down and took a drink of water.

Now... I ask you - if you went to a comedy gig and a woman with a mad haircut started effin' and blinding while talking about men being bastards - wouldn't you at least raise a bewildered smile?

I mean I've just described Jo Brand's entire career there but still.

I dunno what look I had on my face but I must have been smirking because I got a "That's not supposed to be mocked, she has Tourette's!" hissed at me from the next table. I shrugged and carried on listening. She was wasn't funny either which was fortunate for me because I may have ended up being lynched if I laughed again.

You were told to not laugh at a comedy show?

Stop the world I wanna get off.

People talking about Christmas fucking adverts particularly that Supervalu one with the little smug child fooling everyone into thinking he was talking about Santa when all he was doing was talking about his mooching disinterested looking Grandfather. 

Why does every ad now contain a smug know-it-all child?Presumably they are brought up by the most insufferable cunt parents who seem to think their little darlings are the centre of the universe.

[Carnage]

The one with the kid talking about the monster under his bed drives me nuts, the child's an annoying little bollix.

The excessive fawning over michael d Higgins really is something that makes me cringe.

[Giggles]

But he's so adorable and he's into art! I love him.

[Pedrito]

Wud love to drop kick him thru the posts at Croker

[Blackout]

But he's so adorable and he's into art!

What the hell does that mean

[Kurt Cocaine]

He's a wee cutie and he owns a box of his own crayons.
