JackFrost Posted 1 December, 2010 Share Posted 1 December, 2010 I think Boyle is refreshingly non-PC and excellent when in the right environment, he excelled on Mock the week. I once saw him do a stand up and he was one of the worst stand-up performers I've ever seen. It was the biggest let down for a live act of any description I've ever gone too. It was all just recycled Mock The Week gags and after it had only got a few laughs, he picked on a few people in the front row and said thank you, good night and walked off stage. He was on and off the stage so quickly it took a while for the audience to realise that he actually had just buggered off and it wasn't a build up to some long-winded gag.

JackFrost Posted 1 December, 2010 Share Posted 1 December, 2010 This. Lazy, lazy comedy. It's what I don't get about Boyle. He seems to be a genuinely talented comedian whose improvisation on the banter on MTW has had me in stitches. His problem is he bases a lot of his act about being particularly and excessively vulgar to show off and make a point. The more vulgar he is, the less funny he is.

Lighthouse Posted 1 December, 2010 Share Posted 1 December, 2010 Didn't see his show tonight, but to give him credit he was brilliant on Mock the Week. If nothing else watch this from 4 min 40s onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His problem is he bases a lot of his act about being particularly and excessively vulgar to show off and make a point. The more vulgar he is, the less funny he is. His live show doesn't seem like he's written anything. Just goes out and picks on the front row for an hour. It was boring. It was like watching a bully with a flair for originally abusive language.

Pancake Posted 2 December, 2010 Share Posted 2 December, 2010 He seems to be a genuinely talented comedian whose improvisation on the banter on MTW has had me in stitches. I would doubt anything he said on MTW was improv. scripted and re-filmed to the max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 2 December, 2010 Share Posted 2 December, 2010 Frankie Boyle at his best is very, very funny, but I don't think he's a great stand-up. The best stand-up comedian currently working is, without doubt, Stewart Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the whole reason why he left the show because the BBC were wanting him to tone down his output Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 9 December, 2010 Share Posted 9 December, 2010 Boyle is in trouble over comments he made about Jordans son , Harvey. Didnt see it myself, as I watched last weeks show, and it was crap, so wont watch again. Used to think he was quite sharp, now he is just a ****.

Didnt see it myself, as I watched last weeks show, and it was crap, so wont watch again. Used to think he was quite sharp, now he is just a ****. Weirdly there was all that uproar about his comments about Rebecca Adlington and I didn't really see what all the fuss was about. He's said far more offensive things about diana. He's publicly stated a few years ago he was going to give up stand up and it looks like he's going through the motions. He was very good on Mock the Week but he's gone onto this path of vulgarity and it really doesn't do him any favours. From what I've seen of him as a stand-up he's been appaling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Saint Posted 9 December, 2010 Share Posted 9 December, 2010 To mock disadvantaged groups in society is bad enough,to single a young lad on national tv is just cruel and a just proves how much of a spiteful tw4t he really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

equalizer Posted 12 December, 2010 Share Posted 12 December, 2010 Not many comedians can mix stand-up and sketches in the same show and I get the feeling that Frankie Boyle is trying to be like Dave Allen, but Dave Allen could do it without the vulgarity and audience bullying that Frankie Boyle relies on.
