been here before Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Not someone Id go out my way to watch but Ive always found him very funny when Ive came across him.

Carl Fredrickson Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I enjoyed her on HIGNFY years ago and some of his stand up was very clever and made me chuckle. I loved the TV show that covered his first multi marathon event thing and loved it. I really warmed to him (as he was known as at that time) and have enjoyed him when she has played straight roles. Dont know anything about personal life or political views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Some of the early stand up stuff with the long bizarre rambling stories is genuinely unlike anything else. In a good way.

Paddy Crossan Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 No way did someone with no known running experience, as far as I know, run 43 genuine marathons in 51 days. I started running in early 1980s,  ran loads of marathons, won a few races in my time. I was running around 100 miles per week for several years. He's about as genuine a marathon runner as Jimmy Saville who used to show up at the start and then he'd be at the finish after getting driven there in a car. But at least JS did run a few genuine races, mostly 10ks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s suffering from the same thing as the bampots are coming out the woodwork and are hugely aggressive and abusive to anyone who has even slightly differing views. I read a right old stooshy recently around the argument that if a lesbian doesn’t want to sleep with someone who identifies as female but has male genitals it means they are a woman hating TERF. I’m sorry but that just crazy talk. It’s taking male privilege and hiding it behind a manga unicorn avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve spent a lot of my life due to my work knowing and being friends with large amounts of gay people and a lot of them are baffled now. I’m not even sure what queer means anymore. Women in long terms relationships or married with kids are now calling themselves queer despite never having any type of physical contact with another woman. Which makes it even stranger that lesbians seem to be getting it in the neck, I remember when they used to get the piss taken out of them for being political about their sexuality. It all just seems a bit bloody humourless now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to think of the routine where he's on about being in a shower when it goes freezing when someone turns on a tap downstairs and Eddie's proclaiming "everyone stop playing with taps!" - that's not far off from the sort of thing Peter Kay would joke about.     Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
