If you've gotta explain it, it ain't funny. Take away the Palace link and nobody on here would find him remotely amusing. Because he's not. "Executive Lesbian" and all that s***e? Just bizarre, not funny. Then again, that Les character is funny on Benidorm when he sticks a wig and lippy on, just an upper-middle class version of that.

Nobody on here finds you remotely amusing.

Originally posted by kenbarr I was up in the gods so that was impossible. It was a very enjoyable evening for both my daughter and me. Thank you. I never saw the remake of "Triffids" as I consider the original a classic. I did enjoy his performance in "Valkyrie" even though the movie was ruined by the arrogant attitude of the writers and director who believed nobody knew the story. That wasn't the actors fault. As for the negative comment, I should expect such negativity from the resident "damp squid." Damp squid 😂 Think you mean damp squib!

World famous touring comedian not funny because Chris says so. It’s borderline amusing that you have wasted time on something you clearly have no interest in, almost like you have nothing better to do with your life. Kinda sad really.

All comedy is subjective. I'm afraid 'He's not funny because I say he's not funny' just doesn't work. Perhaps: 'I don't find him funny myself' would do. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that this wouldn't occur to you, my troubled man.

He used to do the French shows in French and my french ex said he was outstanding. It was his "I'm covered in bees" phase.
