Went to see him at Porthcawl when on holiday, about 35 years back, started about half 7, didn't get out till about 1 in the morning  

Cheers, D.

We saw him in Sheffield about 15 years ago. He turned up on stage with a flask and sandwich box, turned to the audience and asked whether we had brought anything. You certainly got you money's worth. 

A year or so after I heard a radio show from the 70's. Other than the tax gags it was badically the same script. God bless him.

Dave Allen,now theres a good shout....very funny man just naturally.

In the early 90's i worked in Leicester Square and would go in the Comedy Club from time to time they would have young comedians on doing there bit then occasionally have a " real " comedian come in and do a bit.....Dave Allen was in there one night and absolutely brought the house down,didnt swear,didnt shout......just spoke.......but was hilarious,very talented man.

Geezers reasonably funny but why does he talk like he's got a mouthful of drawing pins.

 Flannagan is alright and Peter Kay was good in his day,Billy Connely etc but i think you always end up siding with comedians from your own area as you connect with them so much better i always thought for pure joke telling Mike Reid had no equal......went to see Jimmy Jones a few times as well but cant honestly say theres anyone around at the moment id go out my way to watch.

Jimmy Jones a regular at the Steamship behind Blackwall Tunnel lol Kin ell…

Kin Ell,Kin Ell....used to see him at the Circus Tavern years ago....admittedly every third time you saw him you're on repeats but another good straightforward joke teller.

The good old Circus Tavern Chicken & Chips in a basket always a good night I see Freddie Star there a couple of times, strangely enough my sister in law married into his family it was weird visiting and seeing pics up on the wall didn’t last long though the bloke she married was a strange one and he soon got binned off

You’ll never beat Billy Connoly simply because he never really repeated himself, making up most of it as the night went on. He could change direction in a heartbeat which made you sit up and want to know what the hell was coming next. Jok.

I see him once in a smallish venue at the peak of his Big Yin days he didn’t tell one joke all stories that were some how connected when he told the big slipper story I looked around and people were literally crying tears running down there faces with laughter bloke was so funny shame he’s not a well man now but he’s lived a life.

Agreed...i think thats the difference between a comedian and a naturally funny person....i could stand telling jokes all night and get a laugh but to just " be funny  " in front of an audience is hard work/pressure like no other.....a lot of it is natural talent in my opinion i know a lad from schooldays who just had a funny way about him the way he told a story etc.....still keeps us all giggling to this day bless him.

[jok 3,266]

Know what Flattop. I similarly, when in company, come out with random stories, all true, which gets my company in stitches. I do a fairly good Billy which comes in handy. Jok.

LPD. You are, in my opinion, totally correct. When I am in company, generally the people make the comedy. You sit back, listen, absorb, and at the right moment come up with something related which makes them laugh like crazy. It’s so easy to make comedy out of just about any subject if you have that frame of mind. I do. Jok.
