Do you think he’s funny? Do you think he’s too pretentious?

I think he’s pretty good. If you’re not familiar with him, here’s a short quote which sums up his sort of view on life:

It wasn’t just racists that voted to leave Europe… cunts did as well, didn’t they?

    Bloody Beaker folk. Coming over here, rowing up the Tagus Estuary from the Iberian Peninsula in improvised rafts. Coming here with their drinking vessels. What’s wrong with just cupping up the water in your hands and licking it up like a cat?

      I find him funny but maybe his style isn’t for everyone. Like when he repeats things a lot. I guess I’m okay with that because maybe the repetition shows how absurd a situation is. But some people might not like that.

    not sure about the current state of things but overall i don’t think there’s been a better british standup. 90s comedian is a masterpiece

    I’ve been hooked on this guy since the radio series of Fist of Fun, with Stuart Lee’s True Fables. This man has been a comedy genius for his entire career.

    I’ve been watching him since Fist Of Fun, I’m a big fan of his writing and the on stage character.
