Stand Up comedy

I thought Afterlife was brilliant, not many shows can do humour and sadness at the same time.

RichM agreed. I like Stewart Lee but it’s a little pompous to trash Gervais here.

I watched Stewart Lee’s Snowflake show last week. It’s quite funny in places. He does rip into Gervais & all those comedians who reckon they’ve been cancelled but then do a show on Netflix which earns them millions.

LT42 yeah, agreed. I know Gervais is marmite but that just smacks of professional jealousy.

Plus I don’t rate Stewart Lee’s delivery. Always been mreh to me.

Gervais literally laughs at his own jokes so the audience knows when to laugh.

Amps so does Kevin Bridges. He’s brilliant. What’s your point?

Millsy Bridges is a million times better than Gervais, he can laugh whenever he likes.

or they are both shit

Along_the_Wire yes I enjoy both Gervais and Stewart Lee.

Although sadly Stewart Lee has disappeared up his own rectum in the last few years; it’s probably the effect of having spent too long writing a column for the Guardian.

His latest ‘Snowflake’ special still had funny moments, but also a lot of it fell flat.

Gervais gets a pass for The Office, Golden Globes and the podcasts with him, Merchant and Pilkington. All absolutely brilliant. Lee just comes across as green eyed and bitter while clearly getting a Brydon belly rub. Wince.

Millsy the podcasts with him, Merchant and Pilkington

I’ll binge listen to these once a year. Pilkington is a joy.
