I'm excited

Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish.

Hey, I liked that film.

You're gonna love the gig eskay. Because he delivers short, one-liners, there are literally hundreds of jokes in his routine. I laughed hysterically from start to finish.

The funniest comedy act I've seen by quite a margin.

I know - sheer brilliance

I've seen him before but it was years ago (maybe '96 or '97 or something) - hopefully he'll have some new material now

Yep....

I need to go see the aforementioned comedian quick smart today.
Try these

Question: Does this sentance make sense: "Let's go see some comedy"

Post by **lynt** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 3:21 pm

"Do you want to come and see some comedy with us?"

"I can't tonight, I'm going to see some comedy"

Interesting, it kinda does, but what exactly is the comedy that is being reffered to, it kinda needs more...

Post by **lynt** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 3:25 pm

A guy I worked with always said that, irritated me...

"Hey mate, come and see some comedy"

What, come and see something done by someone? What mate? It's like... hey, I can't tonight, I'm going to the music.

Bring back the Boosh!!

And some Daniel Kitson while you're at it...

And if I could put in an order for the sad but necessary assinations of the following "comedians" (I use this term VERY loosely):

Dave Hughes
Dave O'Neill
Judith Lucy
Rove
Peter Hellier

(please feel free to add your own)

See but your sentence makes sense, you could be going to see the band called 'The Music.'

Just felt like being a smart arse.

Anyone got a link so I can buy tix?

Ah yes. I saw 'auto' boosh. fuck they're unreal.

Yes please.

Missed him a couple of years ago when I chose to go "see" Ross Noble and Daniel Kitson instead. Both were brilliant, but they came back last year and Noel didn't

quick · Post by **quick** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 5:05 pm

Kitson rules, but I don't agree with the Killing of Rove and Peter Hellier, I love em both, sure they're not of the same league, but they're good at what they do. And Judith Lucy definately had her day, she used to be gold.

I'll grant you the safe passage of Judith and Rove, but Hellier needs to be covered in paper cuts and fed to the pirhanas.... I just find him one dimensional and dull...

I loves tha Pete...

great_magnet · Post by **great_magnet** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 5:21 pm

I once saw Pete buying a rather attractive girl drinks for a good couple of hours at the Glenferrie Hotel, only to get a fairly public and obvious knock back when he moved in for the "kill".

Think it might be something to do with the Kangol cap.... Samuel L Jackson is the only man in the world that can carry off that look with style and panache...

He ate once at a cafe I used to work at on Brunny St. He left a kind note with one of the waitresses detailing how the breakfast he'd bought from us had been the shittest meal he'd ever eaten.

Was that Marcos? I had breakie there once, wasn't that good at all, but I had dinner there once too, and it was great.

Nah Don Vincenzos, next to Marios (I'm not sure if there's a Marco's on Brunny?).

Or used to see me... I quit there about 8 months ago. You could often see me sitting there with a cigarette and a coffee, offending all the bums.

Daniel Kitson is certainly in a world of his own. a few years ago, I saw him perform for abut 45 minutes over the scheduled time for his gig.

bit of a case of ambulance watching sometimes, 'cause his humour is seriously way out there. as is the man himself.

funny as all hell though.

Steven Wright:

"I put high beams on my christmas tree. I blind the guy across the street. He's trying to watch TV and I'm like click-click, click-click.

He has a circular driveway, he can't get out."

Agree with the Boosh, those guys are outta sight hilarious. Don't enjoy Noel by himself though. I know it sounds weird coming from me, but I find him a little too random.

I agree with Magnets hit list, except Judith Lucy. During Late Show years she used to piss me off hardcore, but I find these days I've mellowed a bit and can tolerate her, maybe because these days I'm directing all my anger at Rob Sitch.

Agree with Kitson as well, the dude is very very funny. Ross Noble gets me going as well.

Kill Rove. Please.

And Hellier.

quick · Post by **quick** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 12:34 pm

Kitson was fukn AMAZING last year... I did NOT stop laughing... definitely goin to see him this year... love him.. I so want a DVD of his shows or something..
