For a seriously entertaining night in i would strongly suggest 'Kings of comedy', it is bad comedy at it's best and well worth a watch! yes it's been going for a while but it still gets a belly laugh from me! Sadly 'Queens of comedy don't quiet cut it- but never mind- lets not make general assumptions about men being funnier than women (even though we know they are ladies!!! lol). For a general review and cheap copies visit...

Happy viewing!

Comedy- a chance to be brutally honest!

My favourite comedians are ones like Richard Prior, Bernie Mack and Cedric the entertainer- i even enjoy Peter Kay- all these comedians base their comedy on reality- real life situations which we all face. What i feel makes them funny is that they can talk about things we might be to embarrassed about or to guilty about- with the justification of comedy! they talk about things that we can relate to, we enjoy knowing on some level that other peoples lives are just as f'd up as ours and that were all the same. Racism, beating your kids,police brutality- are all things that can be discussed in the most frank of ways- only through comedy, there is no other scenario where you can be so direct without offending people. Bernie Mack can be frank about his negative experiences with white people- and the white people in the audience will laugh with him- where else does that happen?
