Hugh_Jazz Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Silverman heckled at London gigSo Sarah Silverman's UK debut has fallen on it's arse after charging punters up to 50 for 40 minutes of "entertainment".Did anyone else see this utter waste of space on TV over the weekend? Saw her on Jonathon Ross and 8 out of 10 Cats and she was just terrible....would rather have watched 3 hours of Bobby Davro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm glad.As voiced in the comedians thread, I think she is just a foul mouthed bitch with very little in the way of funny material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossP Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Lucy Porter has a bit of the 'Butter Face' about her.The last female commedian (ienne?) I laughed at was the girl from Flight Of The Choncordes set at the 'Secret Policeman's Ball'. Didn't know if she was being serious for the first couple of minutes... then it clicked. Genuis.

Camie Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Not true. Look up Lucy Porter. She is very funny. Also Joan Rivers.Lucy Porter is average, but one of the better comedians. Joan Rivers on the other hand is horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I actually really like Sarah Silverman. Mind you, i have a fairly strange sense of humour and don't like stand-up comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Never even heard of her.There is no such thing as a funny female comedian.Kristen Schaal, Josie Long, Janeane Garofalo...all good. I like Sarah Silverman as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseyBoi Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Maybe im missing something regarding joan rivers but i honestly think shes gash......This is not an ignorant view..Iknow who she is and ive watched countless programs with her in it....I simply do not find her 1 bit funny...Or her wee storys of men she slept with back in 1889........And i seem to know the silverman burrds face but not as a comedian...Has she been in any films or te like? . . . . . . .Also since the can of worms is open anyway can i bring up my point regarding female comedians and lesbianism.....Is it just me or are most if not all female commedians gay?.....Coincedence i think not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Jazz Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Joan Rivers?!?! o_O She's a fucking abomination!Best girlie comedian I've seen was Sarah Millican. She did support for Reginald D. Hunter when he played the Lemon Tree last year, and was hilarious.......filthy, but hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think Sarah Silverman is mighty funny, and she gives me a boner.She used to be in The Larry Sanders Show, if that helps you put a role to the face? Played Wendy the writer.Love from Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually my mistake, it was being etched in biro on a Kimberley-Clark toilet roll dispenser in a public toilet next to a Greggs Bakers in Exeter by a mentally disturbed cretin who was swallowing his own tongue as he shat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm glad some other people thought that she was completely un-funny on the Jonathan Ross show. It also annoyed me how he was pretend laughing at everything she said. She was not funny at all.Saying that I have never seen any of her other stuff, so I wont completely condemn her just yet.

Captain America Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hmm, on the subject of funny female comedians. I find Dawn French to be very funny a lot of the time. She's probably my favourite female comedian (although Im not sure I would class her as a pure comedian... maybe more of a actress who happens to be amusing?).

Diesel Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 And i seem to know the silverman burrds face but not as a comedian...Has she been in any films or te like? . . . . . . .She played Ed Scheebly's nippy biscuits girlfriend in School of Rock - Jack Black's character's flatmate whom he impersonated to get the job at the school.

framheim Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 i was actually at the recording of 8 out of 10 cats last week but haven't seen the telly version so don't know what was left in or how it was edited. bear in mind that the recording lasted 2 and a half hours. she was infinitely better than that prick kelvin mckenzie, a man who has possibly the most scottish name in the world but spouts the most horrific anti-scot rants at any opportunity. she was absolutely shitting her pants about the gig on sunday incidentally. quite rightly it would seem. her humour doesn't always click i guess.

Swingin' Ryan Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Um....Susie Esman? Janeane Garofolo? Very funny wimmin.Love from ChristyJaneane Garofalo would definitely be my first example, she is and always has been utterly brilliant. I would also add Kristen Schaal and Josie Long.
