Well last night I went along to what was entitled a 'comedy evening'. The line up was filled with up-n-coming comedians & admittedly it was the opening night... but what a car crash!! From the hosts opening gambit "wev'e got a blonde in the front row, yeah she looks like a WAG who likes to suck cock to.... "oh I hope they assasinate Obama??? Now I don't mind lewd comments but at the very least add some humour to them! Anyway as we sat praying for the rapid exit of the host and the entrance of the next comic, the mood of the audience was hostile to say the least. But 'oh' our optimism was misplaced as he randomly proceeds to go around the audience asking "what animal would you most like to f**ck ??
The final act of the first half was saved by a rational Canadian comic who bothered to create a rapoire with the audience rather than fire abuse at them...phew! sanity had been restored (along with a few laughs). What happened in the second half I cannot tell you as we were out of there.....
Now don't get me wrong....im all for creativity that pushes the boundaries but this along with the recent furore @ the beeb over Dross & Bland has left me asking "have comics lost their perception of what the audience finds funny"??
