You really have to wonder how and why Nick Cannon is famous. Looking like a reject Wayans brother who fell off the talent tree and missed every branch on the way down, this wanker can’t host, can’t rap, can’t act, and can’t do stand-up, but somehow he’s doing […]
Why do the most mediocre comedians become household names? From panel shows, clip shows, to talk shows (as well as performing stand-up comedy to an audience of dullards) Rob Beckett is seemingly on every channel. But why? How did Rob become famous? Is it because he’s a distinctive […]
It’s very disappointing when you discover someone is bigoted especially when they have talent, from Axl Rose to Canibus it feels all the more dismaying because these people are good at what they do. This is exactly what happened with Andrew Lawrence, a stand-up comedian who during the […]
It’s baffling how Kevin Hart has become one of the most famous comedians, not just in the United States but internationally. You’d think that him being one of the most well-known comedians, Hart would also have to be the funniest, but it seems that these days you can […]
Amy Schumer is a comedian who is labelled “refreshing”, “controversial”, and even “blue” but for me she is not at all refreshing and she isn’t very controversial, and despite the fact that she incessantly talks about sex, most of her jokes strangely come across as very banal and […]
Every decade or so, a bland comedian rises up the ranks of British TV and they become the face of seemingly everything. In the past we’ve had the likes of Jonathan Ross and Michael McIntyre on top of the televisual pile, and despite the two of them being […]
Romesh Ranganathan is the type of comedian who loves to vacillate almost schizophrenically on the topic of race, culture, and identity. His jokes basically affirm that he’s 100% British and he incessantly speaks about how he’s at odds with his family’s heritage, worse still he serves up this […]
Sarah Silverman is one of the lamest hacks working in comedy today. During the noughties (a time when every talentless twat in the entertainment industry seemed to flourish) this mediocre dick rose up the ranks and seemed to be everywhere during the whole godforsaken decade. It was quite […]
Another Comedy Central Roast took place recently, and even though it was titled “The Roast Of Justin Bieber” it was once again a pretext to tell prejudicial jokes; not about Bieber’s ethnicity, but about the ethnicity of the “darker” celebs on and off stage. At the Justin Bieber […]
It’s really depressing when someone you thought was cool becomes a dull version of their former self. Back in the nineties, Eddie Izzard was an almost genius stand-up, his surreal and disjointed narrative weaved in and out of history and religion, and his juxtaposed topics and odd situations […]
Russell Brand started off life looking like an East End version of the character “Buzz” from Home Alone. Then with the help of illegal narcotics and their associated contrived aesthetics, he then became a superficial Goth-wannabe, complete with all the clichéd piercings and tattoos. This pseudo-70s throwback then […]
