Is Lee, Alternative Comedy? or would that would be an empirical matter? I think alternative comedy as a concept is long dead, was even before Lee started. Alexei Sayle and that lot. Speaking of which, I think Alexei Sayle's Imaginary Sandwich Bar is genuinely genius at times.

Ya notice no one, as far as I've seen, is doing a parody of Putin like former dick-tators that were in the news.

Did I ever mention that my wife had a fire safety demonstration once from the Keith Laird who sued him for his 'Keith Lard' bit on Phoenix Nights? Do you know what the crack about that was? Did he actually base the character on him? Kay hasn't been funny since he fell out with Dave Spikey.

Tbh, the last stand up I found genuinely funny was Norm MacDonald.
That Fringe top 10 list from this year, most of the jokes don't even sound original. The "I never apologise, I'm sorry" line was pulled straight from the Simpsons.

Did he actually base the character on him? I don't know the reason Kay went all out on him, but yeah, it was basically just an excuse to humiliate him on screen. I don't know how he managed to continue in the same job.

I listened to the directors commentary of Phoenix Nights years ago and I remember him just saying "right, time for sandwiches" when that legal text came up.

There's a lot of comedians that say they don't give a fuck, and try and play in to it. It's just an act, Macdonald genuinely didn't give a fuck. He loved making tv chat hosts shit themselves with fear of what he might say. This is one of my favourites. O'Brien and richter don't know what to do. Richter loosens his tie in fear. It's hilarious.

He does come across as all comedy after a certain date is shit. He sure doesn't like yank comedians. Especially the ones that used to swallow the mic and make loud jarring noises and this it's funny. That's why i'm not fully sold on the likes of Hicks. I know that can be sacrilege to some people. Hicks is as dated as Dick Emery. Hicks died nearly 30 years ago Of course he’s dated!!! I would say his humour isn’t as dated as most of his contemporary peers. I still listen to the released albums, and there’s a lot of stuff that still makes me laugh. There’re a lot of gags that are still relevant. He had prescience. We can only speculate, but I would have loved to see how he’d navigate the last 30 years. “Dated” Right
