Really? Sorry I can't agree with that at all. One of the best comedians ever without a doubt

Agreed. I thought I was gonna bust a lung the last time I saw him at the MEN. Hilarious.
Here’s a name for the Stealing a living- Stephen Mulhern. What is he? Apart from a talentless ****.

Being hyperactive isn't funny.

His observations don't make any sense either.

I think you should rewatch some of his tours including the XL one, Monsters and Roadrunner and you will find most of his stuff is relatable tbf. "Does it feel like a Tuesday?" "I dunno how the eff does Tuesday feel" Hahaha many examples of real life stuff

Not just that - somebody who I would put as somebody who is the last person to be stealing a living.

He made his money and was good at his job - and decided to just be a good husband and father and never enjoyed the limelight. He's actually the perfect example of somebody who ISN'T stealing a living. Somebody who did well at his job and decided to escape all the crap that you see going on, and just be with his wife and kids.

If only more people were like him.

I've seen more than enough of him thanks.

The example you give isn't funny either.

Simon Groom but think he got a proper job 1n 1986 so just 6 years stealing a living.

Claretitus · Post by **Claretitus** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 6:40 pm

And his observations about Sports Direct, likened to a jumble sale. Obviously all about opinions, but he IS very funny.

With all due respect me just typing it is never going to sound funny. You mentioned that his material isn't real life stuff when it clearly is. If you've never heard someone say that to you at some stage of your life then I don't know what planet you're living on. His content on footballers earning 60k, 70k a week and how he would count every step £1, £2, £3 haha. Of course you're entitled to your opinion but he is definitely not stealing a living

Nope. I can't honestly say that I've heard anyone say "it doesn't feel like a Tuesday" to me. What a sheltered life I've lived.

Your other example "joke" makes no sense, so I'm guessing you've mistyped... but whatever, I've always seen Evans as a modern day Norman Wisdom, whom I didn’t find funny either, but each to their own.

GodIsADeeJay81 · Post by **GodIsADeeJay81** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 7:31 pm

Lee Evans is brilliant, plain and simple.

I regularly hear people say that a day in the week doesn't feel like that particular day, especially during Covid and people are off work.

Obviously I can't deliver the jokes either in person or in writing on here mate but as I say you're entitled to your opinion and I respect that

. I disagree with the stealing a living though as I say

I'm not a huge fan of Lee Evans, comedy is very subjective. But touring the country doing stand up shows every night of the week isn't easy. He's obviously got a large following and he entertains them, so he's by no means stealing a living. That applies to about 99% of the celebrities mentioned on this thread though.

*Apologies in advance for not agreeing with you all.

Find Lee Evans bloody awful but each to their own.

Weird thread. Just because you’re not a fan, it doesn’t mean they’re stealing a living. Can’t do with McIntyre but he’s clearly good at what he does.

Somewhat surprising ageist digs considering your favourite comedy show is a good 15/20 years older than any I mentioned.

You can't be any older than the 1990s. Surely.

The travel correspondents/reporter on local radio; some
attention seeker texts or phones in that there is a hold up on the A777 or whatever road because a cow is giving birth in the middle of the road you get the picture, and they break off from either a song or an interesting article about the spread of gonorrhea in care homes and the presenter spends more time saying we have an emergency on the aforementioned road etc over to Roderick to give you the details, Roderick then reads the text that the sodding presenter could easily have done. Presenter then repeats what Roderick has said. Rodericks of this world stealing a living.

Exactly.

All those mentioned are technically very good at what they do, the material, or context might not be to your taste, but there we go, switch over to something else.
