Comedy Double Acts - Page 2

Hip Priest · 08.09.2006, 05:58 PM

Fai enough. It makes me laugh more than anything else in existence, so that just goes to show that it takes all sorts, eh?

But I'm still flabbergasted.

I once had Stewart Lee stood behind me bleating on about Pink Floyd while I was trying to watch Yo La Tengo. For that alone, they're not included. And they're not funny.

As for Pasquale & Walsh? Have you not seen Corrie and The Price Is Right? Their pairing may have been brief, but being apart can't hold them back.

joe pasquale has a reputation for stealing jokes from small time comedians. he allegedly employs people to go out and watch lesser known comedians and write down all their jokes, he then incorporates what he finds suitable into his act.

anyway, stewart lee is one of the best stand ups i've ever seen, if not the best. i've never seen another comedian with such a grasp of what makes humour work as he does.

He didn't steal the squeaky voice did he?

Couldn't knock Bradley Walsh though could you?

You're not related to Stewart Lee are you?

Toilet & Bowels · 08.09.2006, 07:01 PM

no, he's just one of my favourite comedians. one of my friends used to work with him though and apparently he a very decent chap.

baddiel & skinner?
punt & dennis?

Shit. How the hell has it happened that I'm the only person to have voted for Morecambe and Wise? What's with you people?

porkmarras · 08.10.2006, 03:31 AM

I can't see Lee & Herring there Spookie.

porkmarras · 08.10.2006, 03:32 AM

Joe Pasquale makes me puke.Why people find him funny or 'A national treasure' is unknown.

Too damn right.

porkmarras · 08.10.2006, 03:46 AM

Chris morris or Armando iannucci are even better than Stewart Lee and in a way scarier if such a thing can be said about comedy.Stewart Lee is definately one of the nicest men who ever worked here at the National.

sonicl · 08.10.2006, 04:05 AM

I take it that you're watching the new Armando Iannucci thing on BBC2? Excellent stuff.

porkmarras · 08.10.2006, 04:08 AM

Nah i've missed that as i tend to watch very little tv at the moment.Have you ever seen the armando iannucci show?It should be out on dvd this year but i got it on ebay from someone who converted vhs to dvd.Insanely surreal.Oh and what about Julia Davis(i'll never get tired of promoting her)?

fishmonkey · 08.10.2006, 04:08 AM

The early shows, and the Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, I love (especially the docu thing in the nightclub). And I liked Catterick a lot too - thought it kept getting better as the series went on. But Shooting Stars and that recent sketch show leave me cold.

They're both very funny though especially Bob.

porkmarras · 08.10.2006, 06:40 AM

French and Saunders are awful.So unfunny it's unbelievable.Almost as unfunny as Peter Kay.

sonicl · 08.10.2006, 07:07 AM

Victoria Wood and Julie Walters. An excellent double act for those of us approaching our pipe and slippers age.

porkmarras · 08.10.2006, 07:18 AM

Julie Walters is the female comedian of choice for a huge amount of gays.
