Some good points but why the swearing?

agree too much swearing, looks and sounds like hes suffering from tourette, facial and hand ticks

Braver then most of todays comics.

Indeed, John Cleese got flak for saying people were scared
to make jokes about Islam.

Playing to his audience.

i jihad him

Thought it was alright, non especially funny, not incisive, but not really offensive either. A fair enough expression of our exasperation at religious extremisim. Why anyone would be bothered by the swearing I've no idea.

He was in a hotel bar after a show in the USA when he was approached by a doctor who suggested he visit a medic as he could be suffering from early onset parkinsons.Sadly a correct diagnosis just from observing his actions.

^^ makes sense, something not really 'flowing' in that performance and the swearing is over the top compensation.

I think it`s a sad reflection on today`s f****** society, all that swearing found acceptable now.

Not sure about that as he was just the same in his travel programmes on TV which would have been good except for the unnecessary swearing which made it, for me, unwatchable.

If something makes me extremely angry I have a tendency to utter the odd swear word or two (! - unacceptable behaviour these days I agree

My daughter complained to the director of a building firm whose workers were working near to her house/garden and continually used very bad language in earshot of my grandchildren playing in the garden in the summer ....and was told that it is normal behaviour.

They don`t know any better, it`s part of their everyday vocabulary. Swearing when there are kids about is unacceptable behaviour imo.

stfu yfsc!!!!

Said daughter reached 40 years of age this year and I can honestly say I have never, ever heard her utter even a mild swear word - guess she's not really used to it.
