Simple, they’re not really comedians at all and haven’t got a ‘funny bone’ in their bodies – apart from the ‘ulnar nerve’ of course.

Look who these people are who somehow laugh at these ‘comics’, they’re all under 35-40 and belong to the same clique, if you know what I mean. Or maybe it’s me getting on in years? (68) Somehow I doubt it though.

Used to find Richard Pryor hilarious doing a live show. What a talent!
Most British comics are crap these days except for maybe Peter Kay and one or two others.

The late Bernard Manning, the Manchester gag teller, could leave you in absolute stitches even though his routine was very blue. His timing was so clever and virtually perfect every time. Ah well! Time to put the cat out, or is it bring it in?

Well said I feel you brother. Now let’s get all.those boring hipster fake progressive comics some acid (or coke) to expand thier minds and maybe they won’t be so bougy. Comedy would at least be fun again and then maybe tough crowd will come back.
