Stephen K Amos

Humour is of course a subjective thing .

I've never found stand-up comics to be funny
Most rely on comments about genitals and use profanaties to get a laugh - which is not at all funny to me .

However i was watching fern Britain's this morning - one of her guest was the comedian
Stephen K Amos .
Now , he was very funny and spontaneous on the show - they also showed a clip of him in one of his shows and again he was very funny , without needing to call on the profanaties and genital lines .

Does anyone else think he is a funny bloke ?

haven't seen him, but anyone who doesn't go on about his genitals is okay by me. (Except Bernard Manning.)

Yes,i saw him in Liverpool with Al Murray and thought he was very funny,especially his handling of hecklers.

He is also very good on Have I Got News....
I think he has been on about 3 times.

[doomey!]

If you think stand up comedy is about genitals and profanity, you are way behind the times, and totally missed getting aboard the Peter Kay *band wagon* anyway...back to topic, I don't find Amos very funny personally.

Above is my fav..

Funny on tv. We once hired him for a work thing and he went down like a lead balloon!

I saw him live at Edinburgh a couple of years ago after seeing him on the telly, started fine but went down hill.

I have to say a lot of comedians live don't live up to thier TV billing - saw Rhod Gilbert who has me in stitches but he came across as a kind of shouty manic depressive,

Ed Byrne is probably the best I have seen and Mark Thomas, if you don't mind his politics, is top draw as well.

Love Rhod Gilbert, Ross Noble (going to see in dec), Tim Minchin, Russell Howard, Bill Bailey, Billy Connolly etc...

Have not seen one live though yet
