    Paddy McGuinness?

    I thought this was supposed to be a "comedy" show.

    CH4 are dangerous! They're risky!

    In fact they were born risky!

    Although it looks like smug patronising shlock, in fact it isn't. So there!

    The only thing I've ever liked Paddy McGuiness in was Max and Paddy with Peter Kay. He was hopeless tonight - really poor.

    John Bishop, Alan Carr, Sean Locke and James Corden - all very weak and hardly raised a smile between them from me. By the way, which fool told Keith Lemmon he was funny?

    Lee Evans and Michael McIntyre are just brilliant - head and shoulders above the rest so far and the only two I would pay to see.

    Lee Evans made me laugh when I was about 12. Now I'm all growded up I find it hard to be amused. His act consists of nothing more than HILARIOUS voices, running up and down and swearing. Just terrible.

    Everything about this show was awful. In fact I'd rather see the charity go without than be subjected to what was on offer last night.

    Remember when British comedy used to be good?

    Saw about 30 minutes of this and didn't laugh much

    The audience found everything hilarious though. Guess it must just be me

    You forgot about the sweating. Sweating is 50% of his pitiful act. I caught this programme during the ad breaks for The Good Wife and got Alan Carr, John Bishop and finally Lee Evans. I decided the risk of turning over a fourth time and catching Jo Brand or some other pathetic excuse for a comic was too great and desisted.

    Glad it wasn't only me that thought it was awful. Turned over late and saw Lee Evans (brilliant) and then that fat **** Corden came on , turned over!

    I like Paddy McGuinness, but he really does not have an act at all does he, very much out of his depth.

    He is a comedian and a very popular one at that. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean others don't.

    And other people liking him doesn't mean he's any good.

    IMHO, he's shocking. Peter Kay has a lot to answer for.

    No it doesn't, never said it did. But you would wonder how else you would judge the popularity of a comedian other than him making people laugh.

    Banal, middle of the road comedians who think saying "f###" is edgy. Most of them who were on the show are millionaires who ain't gonna rock the boat.

    I've recorded this, but not watched it yet. If it's anything like previous shows, each comic will have about two minutes !
    Who is in it? Sean Lock ? Jason Manford ?

    Have watched it this afternoon. Very good I thought! They only had about two or three minutes each - but did well anyway!
    I didn't like Michael McIntyre before - but his subject on computers had me in stitches - so true!!
    Paddy McGuiness has a nice body, Jon Richardson is cute, and I loved those spoof adverts with Alan Carr in the first hour or so!!

    All for charity - a good cause! Anyone know how much they made??
