Who is your favourite comedian and why? And the worst you've ever seen?
I was thinking of this after a small stand-up cabaret I went to on Friday where one of the acts was so catastrophically bad I felt like carrying him off the stage in a show of sympathy. He was this small young ginger bloke who feigned autism, and his entire act seemed to consist of using the word 'cnut' in the punchline, which turned the audience against him from the start.
When it became clear that no one was laughing, he threatened to rape a woman in the audience if she didn't laugh. He then got out a keyboard and sang a song called 'you're a cnut' towards one of the hecklers. After a few more terrible jokes about sucking cock he finished with a series of keyboard sound effects reconstructing Diana's car crash and her life slipping away on the life support machine. The bloke next to me threatened to "throw a fecking pint glass in his face" if he didn't get off the stage.
After another pop at the audience, he leaves, and from nowhere Bill Bailey walks out with his guitar completely unexpected and gives the funniest 15 minutes of stand up I've ever seen. The contrast was embarassing.
Any similar experiences Caftards?
