I’ve not yet either, but Standhope used to be great, not sure of his current state. The one after this clip was great too.

Homegrove Stanhope is ace. That new show is surprisingly great as well, cheers for the link.

Tbh I’m surprised Hannu has the temperament for his comedy.

    Strange but true, Doug Stanhope is best mates with Johnny Depp.

      Fair play to Homegrove, it was him who first got me into Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown.

      LT42 Anyone seen Gervais’ new show?

      Half way through, patchy but worth a look.

        LT42 Why strange?

        Because Stanhope isn’t anywhere near the level of fame as Depp, and I had the impression he was someone who wasn’t so keen on the limelight off of stage.

        But there are clear overlaps in their personalities and interests.

            LT42 Anyone seen Gervais’ new show?

            Just watched it, nothing particularly groundbreaking but quite funny.

              The opening 5-10 minutes of Gervais are pretty good. A lot of the rest of it is meh, but some is quite funny.

                Depp also appeared on the Fast Show and is friends (to a degree) with Paul Whitehouse.

                    bosstrabs I’d forgotten about that.

                    I think at least one of Whitehouse’s kids went to my secondary school.

                      Some line up on that Bill Burr presents Friends Who Kill that’s on Netflix today. He closes it, with Dave Attell, Michelle Wolf, Jessica Kirson and Jimmy Carr going before him. And a few others. Just shame that with a running time of 70 minutes they each get about 10 minutes. Burr has already shot a full special, he just is not ready to lose the material yet because he’s got a full touring special. Kudos for him not being like Jimmy Carr. Saw him a week after his first Netflix-special. And he did nothing but that. Usually comedians are expected to retire the material once the special is out.

                        Homegrove This was the first “collective” special that I really enjoyed. Felt Ronnie Chieng was wasted but otherwise loved all the sets. Steph Tolev was insane and hilarious, and I loved that Michelle Wolf played it like a female version of Burr, going at white women mercilessly. The token black guy was great as well.
