Off duty stand up comedians

What you need, mate, is to mix with genuinely funny people.

Who was it, btw (you can text me the answer if you want).

Strange thing was, he laughed at one of my jokes. (I told him not to add it to his routine)

Did the off duty chef, mechanic, plumber, accountant and builder that you also invited oblige?

No, it wasn't my party, I was just a guest. However, the wine merchant that was invited did bring a case of claret.

Eddie Izzard doesn't do jokes.

Can't have been Alan Carr then, he's been trying to make people laugh for years. Unsuccessfully.

eddie izzard is a joke hes stolen a living

also stolen a seat at a swanky dinner party by the sounds of it!

I just had a little watch of him...
Perhaps you can make a couple of bob selling him some material, coat.

On my big list, he'd struggle to get into the 2/10 category, (imo).

Hope the food and drink were good though.

If he'd struggle to make study's list as a 2/10 then perhaps he was doing his routine and you just didn't notice

Micky Flanagan used to come in a pub I worked in prior to the explosion of his fame. The very last thing you would have expected him to be was a comedian.

jed, Micky Flanagan lives very close to me and his son goes to the same school as my mates lad, he is a very reserved chap by all accounts.

Yeah mate he used to pop in the Gowlett when he was picking him up from pre-school. Nice enough chap, and had already done 'What chance change?' at Edinburgh, so wasn't entirely unknown.
