Hello!
I first got into comedy when my Dad took me to see Bill Bailey for my birthday a few years back and have grown to love most types of comedy since then.
The exceptions to this are:
Not Going Out (Lee Mack is so much better than that show gives him credit for)
Comedians who use race and gender as a basis for every single joke they tell (Gina Yashere)
American comedy (I'm sure it's very good in America, but I can't stand it at all)

I've got into comedy writing recently too, so I figured here's probably a good place to come. Hopefully I've not pissed off too many people already!

Hurrah!

Welcome!

So this is why the Beeb keep airing Not Going Out, is it? You must agree though, that it is not a patch on Lee's stand up?

Hi! I actually think NGO is better than Lee's stand up.

Hi!

Hello and welcome.

It's difficult to compare really; stand up and sitcom are very different beasts. But for laugh-rate, they're equal.

Yes. Hello there.
