Let me put it to you this way:
Show 1: Female Nigerian appears on the show - breaks into mock Nigerian accent pretending to be her mother. Show 3: Different Nigerian appears on the show - breaks into mock Nigerian accent pretending to be her mother. Show 5: The first Nigerian appears on the show - breaks into mock Nigerian accent pretending to be her mother. And so on... |

Someone mentioned "Nigerian born comedians" so colour / nationality did come up in a previous post and they were stereotyping these comedians as being poor at stand up comedy.
Whether the mentioned comedians are any good or not is one matter - some of them aren't very good - bringing up their nationality directly is another. |

Shucks, at what stage of PC Britain did it become offensive/stereotypical to point out a matter of fact (i.e. where somebody was born)? What would you like me to have said: ''Don't include any of those women that do those accents''? *edit, I realise I shouldn't call them women, as, by the above logic, this is sexist. |

I liked Chris Addison's little bit about the Red Army turning up on some bloke's doorstep and giving him relationship advice.

Oh right, so when you say 'Nigerian born comedians' you really mean 'English born comedians'?

He seems to have expressed understanding but still a degree of solidarity towards Frankie and a bit of mistrust/betrayal towards Dara, Hugh and Andy. If you don't laugh at a joke, that's fine, nobody expects everyone to like everything. However if you try to drum up a hate campaign, threaten their ability to work and earn a living and blacklist them, then that's pretty insane as a result of your contrasting sense of taste and humour.
(I see you've already refused once to collaborate this. You are the one who is making the accusations, so you are the one that needs to provide evidence if you want people to take you seriously.) |

Are you saying Dara, Huge and Andy drummed up a hate campaign and black-listed Frankie Boyle? If so, that's a strong claim. Please substantiate it. For example, I follow Dara on Twitter and don't recall him drumming up hate against anyone on his show.

Thought it was an OK show but is it me or is Katherine Ryan's laugh put on, like she doesnt actually seem to find anything funny?
Milton is all right but I've always preferred Stewart Francis. Gary Delaney is funnier for actual puns and one liners than Milton IMO. I did also like that show where Andy Murray was in the audience

The Daily Mirror were the main proponents jumping on Frankie's remarks with regularity. I didn't say the rest of the show did, however Dara did remark that Frankie had ruined comedy for everyone else on Live At The Apollo and on on of his live DVDs because now they have to watch what they say even more.
any proof of your previous claim, i had a look on google as you suggested and found nothing to back them up

Tell you what, use Google and do your own detective work. You've access to the same resources as I have. I'm here to discuss the show, not do your homework.

Still don't know why they don't let the guests in the standup round (as long as they're standups). Seems silly to only have three. |

Gary Delaney is what Milton Jones would be like if Milton Jones was funny.
Miles Jupp is brilliant too. |

I enjoyed that and I've not been much of a fan for a while - note to producers (bit late with this advice) never get Americans on unless they live in Britain.

I've seen Andi Osho live and she is very funny, and very, very, pretty too!
Funnily enough she didn't mention Nigeria once. But then everyone has a different sense of humour. I think Milton Jones is brilliant |

Ditto. Don't like Gary Delaney. His laugh was unbearable last night - not noticed it before.
![]() Immediately as I saw Miles Jupp on the EPG, I just wanted to scream 'It's Archie, the inventor' (who had a weird obsession with yogurt tops and what not). Another good show last night. I think it's better if they have the guests in the stand-up round. |

Thought last night's show was one of the better ones in recent times.
I've seen Gary Delaney a few times and thought he was brilliant. But I don't think he's ever quite looked as comfortable on Mock The Week - not that he's been awful or anything. |

In what universe is Chris Addison a suitable replacement for Frankie Boyle he just rips off the other panelist's jokes.
Andi Osho can be funny but I wish she'd get rid of the racoon on her head Love Andy Parsons & Hugh Dennis. Milton Jones & Stewart Francis not my cup of tea. |

They missed a trick with one comment.
They were looking at a picture and asked what it was and Gary Delaney said it's what he thinks of to stop him cumming. If only someone replied with "I think of Sarah Millican" Frankie would have
