Brendan does an awful amount of work for charity

backinatracksuit · December 17, 2021, 3:51pm

He’s a successful Irish man

TFK hates him

balbec · December 17, 2021, 3:52pm

What makes you think that?

Ashman · December 17, 2021, 4:04pm

I think he has done great and don’t begrudge him his success .

I think his comedy is shite though

LionelRitchie · December 17, 2021, 4:12pm

Same. Met him in George hotel in Limerick when I was about 18. Nice man.

But sophisticated fart jokes his entire schtick.

Fagan_ODowd · December 17, 2021, 4:18pm

Do you like his comedy?

balbec · December 17, 2021, 4:19pm

I don’t mind him. I’d watch the Christmas show like. Harmless enough.

There are definitely much worse Irish comedians. Most of those observational panel show type people are atrocious.

O’Carroll and Pat Short at least have a bit of presence about them and had mainstream success at one time.

ocarroll has put in the hard yards and i owuldnt begrudge him the bit of success he has. i remember when i was a youngfella, hed be loading up the van himself after doing a gig in the sands in courtown.

but he is as funny as a kick in the nuts

I don’t find O’Carroll funny but have respect for what he’s done. Similar to Shortt who hasn’t been funny since D’Unbelievables quickly ran out of material. Both come across as genuine lads and I wouldn’t begrudge them any success they have.

Compare them to the likes of Ed Byrne, Jason Byrne or Neil Delamare who are the definition of lads who are stealing a living. Calling them comedians is an absolute insult to lads who are actually funny.

Like all these lads, I find the older I get the less comical I find them. I went to see O’Carroll years ago in me late teens. Thought he was hilarious at the time. Looking back on it now all it was, was a couple of hours of "fucking this’ and “bollix that” I was at the comedy club a few years ago with herself. I can’t remember the names of the five or six that performed that night but they were way more humorous and the humor was also way more subtle. Like everything, your tastes changes as you get older

EstebanSexface · December 17, 2021, 5:25pm

Mrs Browns boys is very funny

backinatracksuit · December 17, 2021, 5:28pm

The truth is that most comedians are funny when you see them live, I’ve laughed my head at jokes that would make me switch the channel normally, that’s the way of these things

iron_mike · December 17, 2021, 5:30pm

Yeah maybe. But I certainly wouldn’t pay money to go see O’Carroll again .

backinatracksuit · December 17, 2021, 5:33pm

I caught a bit of Michael McIntyre on TV recently, I suppose he’s a big deal as he was playing an enormous venue

He was very very funny, I only saw about 15 minutes, he was on about the orthotics in his shoes,

iron_mike · December 17, 2021, 5:33pm

Yeah I like him.

EstebanSexface · December 17, 2021, 5:35pm

Kevin Bridges is hilarious.

Tassotti · December 17, 2021, 5:37pm

Comedians are like a box of ferraro rocher

Raylan · December 17, 2021, 5:48pm

Don’t go there
