Just watched Shappi Khorsandi on Live at the Apollo.

I thought jumping from borderline one liners to one liners was soooo last when ever it was. And yet the audience laughed ha ha ha after every joke to the point it was automated as if there was pre recorded laughter being played to fill out the silences. If not they were sympathy laughs and the audience didn't gel at all with her. Compare this with the previous comedian Al Murray and it's night and day. The laughs were prolonged with cheering, clapping and audience participation.

Which leads me to my point...should see become a document controller?
 
theres loads of bad comedians and comedians that use the same material over and over and over and over, peter kay was using the same crap for about 10 years.....
 
The popularity of comedy panel shows is a big contributing factor for the recent influx of these medicore comedians.

I was watching Stand Up For The Week on Channel four last night and it was absolutely dire.

Another problem is that due to these comedians getting so much airtime on different shows they repeat there jokes all the time. I don't think Jo Brand has ever changed her comedy routine and she seems to be getting away with. John Bishop was throwing in some of his old line on his NEW comedy tour. It's just pure lazyness and they get away with it.

On the charity Stand Up Gala every comedian used there old routines, even the headline act Lee Evans. Micheal McIntyre is one the rare comedians who always make an effort to have new material.

Is she the middle aged Iranian woman? Seen her on a couple of things before and she is beyond dire.

Jo Brand is alright, but to be fair she aligns so far with the male side of things shes practically a bloke anyway.

She's ****. She's been using the same material for aslong as I can remember. She even repeated some stuff on QI! Even when she does new stuff it's so predictable; she starts off with some self-depricating jokes about her weight, the size of her clothes, her new diet. Then makes fun of men for a while and that's it.
 
Omid Djalili uses past scripts on more than one occasion but the first time you see them, it's bloody hilarious. Ross Noble is is unique in that his performance is improvised and based on what the audience provide him as material and he's funny too but Shappi Khorsandi's performance was lame lame lame. Not one bit was funny and yeah, I agree, female comedians fail.
 
Pretty much the only comediene I have found very funny was Victoria Wood. Generally speaking I don't find them that particularly good.
