That drummer who now presents telly dougie something, I'll give you that. Who beats that for talent? So your from paisley and kissing the weedgie Gerry Rafferty was from Paisley I believe. It's the Edinburgh International Festival, simply because the whole world wants to come to Edinburgh. The only people that want to visit Glasgow are Glaswegians themselves. Jealousy is a terrible thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graygo Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Has anybody on here slating this Godley creature as being a crap comedian ever actually saw her act or do you think all she does is Nicola Sturgeon voiceovers? I wouldn't mind betting the same posters having a go at her for the horrible comments she made years ago lap up Frankie Boyle's patter. ps, I think she's shite too but that's not my point.

Auldbenches Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 You can't argue that they both said something controversial, but to compare comedy content is laughable. I've heard a fair bit of her comedy as she was never off bbc Scotland for a few years and we were all forced to endure her stuff through the pandemic and can't remember a single punchline. You'll need to refresh my memory or tell me something you've heard in her stand up as I'd avoid it due what I've already heard. What have I missed out if you enjoyed her stand up?

Your right she has no comic timing , no actual traditional type jokes , her observations about most things are just littered with profanity which Sone dafties seem to find “ comical “ she hasn’t even got an actual smooth ,likeable exterior which may warm the audience to her .

Even if you aren't a fan of her daughter's comedy, she is a lot better than her and at least has constructed jokes with a line to finish them off. It's the 'wean' you've got to feel sorry as it's probably affected her career a wee bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Sturgeon offering support to Godley whose humour was just racist. Whilst offering nothing to Joanna Cherry who has been victim to threats no woman should have to deal with. Pretty much sums up Sturgeon to me. I don’t much care what Godley was tweeting but the way Sturgeon is allowing a prominent member of her party and absolute credit to the independence cause to be treated is disgusting.

Pretty common for a stand up comedian's live act to be completely different from what you'll see on BBC Scotland for obvious reasons. I've never seen Jane Godley live, never will but my wife has and she said she was hilarious. I'd be interested to know what kind of "certain demographic" @JamesM48 thinks it is that my Mrs falls into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
