Frankie Boyle's Tramador Nights

[benjii]

New programme on C4 now. I reckon it might be rubbish but we shall see, Saints fans.

[Thedelldays]

tip top...I think boyle is brilliant

[saint_stevo]

it is a bit gash

[benjii]

The Iran thing was funny. And the George Michael thing. The standard up is quite funny. The Nightrider thing was rubbish.

[saint_stevo]

Knight Rider was not

[Smirking_Saint]

what the f*ck is going on ?

[rocknrollman no2]

Very poor show so far.

[Thedelldays]

pretty crap..

 

I really like his stand up..but the sketches are poor

[Deppo]

He is poor. Thought he was useless when I saw him live. Waste of money.

[benjii]

Not great.

 

On a more positive note, The Trip has really grown on me.

[JackFrost]

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.

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.

[Hatch]

I thought it was absolute rubbish.

[Lighthouse]

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.

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.

I would doubt anything he said on MTW was improv. scripted and re-filmed to the max.

[SuperMikey]

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.

 

[manji]

**** poor.

[JackFrost]

It certainly wasn't scripted by the BBC. It was the whole reason why he left the show because the BBC were wanting him to tone down his output

[Hatch]

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 ****.

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

[CB Saint]

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.

[Scudamore]

Man that was absolute garbage...

[Viking Warrior]

Stewart lee . is what I call not funny and he resorts to canned laughter in that clip

[Deppo]

You are wrong on both counts.

[benjii]

[video=youtube;VCGA9p2-jAo]

 

Shows that not a lot changes....

[Viking Warrior]

Sorry Deppo he is just not funny , so much like Ben elton and co, not funny at all

[equalizer]

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.
