Aberdeen_Ladette Posted September 4, 2011 Report Posted September 4, 2011 At Edinburgh Fringe couple of weeks ago I went to see Sarah Millican, Daniel Sloss and Jimeoin.....Definite serotonin boost at them all! The free shows went to see I rated from fcuking awful, to laughed a couple of times! ... Special mentions to lassie in The Globe, show called something like sex and drugs and rock and roll, ..... fcuking awful category!, (stayed 5 mins at most, ... as long just to see if she got any funnier, ... she didn't!) ... and Alan Sharp "Hate it with me" at the Banshee Labyrinth just down fae the Globe, ... he was in laughed a couple of times category! He was so disappointing though, as expected cynical, Mr Grumpy humour. Maybe having Jute and Chimp as mates I'm used to much better cynical humour!! Quote

By cynical humour I presume you mean drunken rage fueled rants? Quote
Kowalski Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Very funny guy and a genuine cockney. He was good, probably an 8 out of 10. A dirty bastard too!

dandy Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Jimmy Carr is playing the Music Hall next June. Did anyone see him recently, and if so, was he any good? Quote

fatjim Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Did my first gig last night and it was both frightening and a buzz kill at the same time. Quote
maverick sheep Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Did my first gig last night and it was both frightening and a buzz kill at the same time. did you die on stage fj? and then have sex with yourself? Quote
fatjim Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I didn't die. It got pretty tough in the middle but the audience seemed to like my necrophilia gags despite fluffing one of them. There is no link ST. it was supposed to be filmed but wasn't because there wasn't enough light. Probably a good thing. Quote

tlg1903 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 fair play to you. i don't have the balls to get up on stage I've done a fair bit of theatre in my time but stand up is a completely different ball game. An audience is naturally a bit easier on a story teller because they have to suspend reality to engage with the story in the first place. Also as a performer you have a role to hide behind whereas in stand up its just you and a mic................. go on then mr funny man, make me laugh. Kudos to you Jim, takes stones to give it a blast. Where did this happen? Quote

Kudos to you Jim, takes stones to give it a blast. Where did this happen? falkirk of all places and they liked my more edgy stuff although I fluffed one of my necrophilia jokes but still got a bit of a laugh. WIll definitely give it another go. The weird thing was not focussing or catching anyone in the audience in the eye. It was just a blur. i have 20/20 vison but couldn't look at anyone. Quote

Probably because you have practiced on your own and you're not used to having people looking back at you. Must be a great buzz when you make them laugh though. Did you have a few dutch courage pints beforehand? Quote
fatjim Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 no I was completely sober and drug free. it was a good buzz. Quote
dave_min Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Good on you. You can open for me at my Edinburgh show this August if you're any good Quote
tlg1903 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 no I was completely sober and drug free. it was a good buzz. Well i didn't think you went up on acid. Fair play to you man there's no harder gig to succeed at. Quote
fatjim Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Good on you. You can open for me at my Edinburgh show this August if you're any good Can I shit in your mouth on stage? Quote
dave_min Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Can I shit in your mouth on stage? And ruin the encore? Fuck no. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Me n Jerry did a double stand up last night. You can call him Mr Sadowitz. He inspired me to be honest. I apologise to anyone of the Judaism religion who may have been in attendance, or any poofs who were there. I didn't mean what I said. I was just trying to be shocking. Which I was. There are no decent comedians on the planet bar Mr S. The best ones are all dead. Comedy can do that. You can die. Quote
fatjim Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Doug Stanhope is funnier than Jerry Sadowitz. Sadowitz is a better magician though. Quote
BigAl Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 Fair play to you FJ, its bad enough standing up to speak in public, never mind actually try and make folk laugh. You do it for the love of it, or to gain the experience ? P.S You got an agent Quote
fatjim Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 I did it because I needed a hobby. It was a great experience though. Quote
