Tommy Tiernan's tasteless "joke" about Arlene Foster

[BennyCake]

Pat Shortt is great being interviewed, just being himself he's really funny. His comedy, so so. Dunbelievables I thought was awful, seen a bit of Matty which was quite good.

A great man for laughing at his own jokes is Pat

Google Tommy Tiernan and show review. Check out the reviews, he's one of the best stand ups there is. Dara O Briain also excellent. Patrick Kielty and unbelievable shite give my head peace on the other hand ...

there's some right prudes on here if you find these comedians offensive. DON'T go to see Frankie Boyle! Is is very funny though...

But I suppose very few comedians are universally popular.  I do like The Savage Eye but I know a lot of folk think it is terrible.

Billy Connolly??

I've watched a number of James Young clips on Youtube recently and they are hilarious. The man was ahead of his time.

Plus, he didn't have to use foul language to make people laugh. Funny that, innit?

The level of sexual innuendo he used was quite risqué for the late 60s and early 70s.  He attracted a cross-community audience and at times imitated Dick Emery (if you remember him).

A lot is shock value which runs it's course after a bit. I saw boyle live and wasn't impressed. Jimmy carr too. They seem to just be intent on pushing boundaries which is fine for a bit but gets boring.

O'Briain and the likes of bridges are different league in my view.

Would love to hear Frankie Boyle do an Arlene Foster joke, that would be funny

Wasn't James Young openly homosexual,or as openly homosexual as anyone could be in the North in the 60s and 70s? That's why he could impersonate a range of Belfast women perfectly.Also wasn't he a serious actor to begin with who turned to comedy later?

You weren't there! He was effeminate.Did make us laugh though!

Bridges is the man, modern man's Billy Connolly.

James Young was a wee bit before my time but we had a best off video back in the day, loved him, very funny, the Trade Unionist (one memorable skit for Ghosts rights) still gets quoted to this day!
