hoils Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Bramble FM are always unmissable. Great way to spend 3 hours in the afternoon, watching chaos unfold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perks Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Barbara Nice would be perfect. So much fun. Normally spend loads of time in here, but think I only made it once last year. Was always round the area, not sure why I didn't end up in there as much. Will have to rectify this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guypjfreak Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I'd love to see Jim jefferies.. He's fucking brilliant imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Melon Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Phil Kaye is always worth checking out at the festival. He's there pretty much every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZigster Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Jonathan Kaye does some good audience interaction stuff. Usually in Astrolabe though. Watched him there in '04 and Sir Michael of Eavis sat down next to me. I've got a great anecdote about that, but this isn't the place for it.

Hotchilidog Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Phill Jupitus has confirmed. He's a got a new stand up show for this year, but i hope he does the poetry tent too. Fairly sure he'l end up on the improv shows too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember finding that a bit weird, even outside of the comedy stuff he's often found MCing the Leftfield tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what his return to stand up will be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's mellowed a bit now that he's married with kids though. But yeah, you're right, it was there, he just managed to make it really, really funny. And it's not like he was playing a character either.

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Yeah....I've not seen him for years, now, and the last time I saw him he'd improved on that score. It wasn't really my thing, but technically accomplished all the same. But some of his earlier work was a bit tough to defend. Tony Law's horrified routine about the types of things that Jeffries was saying, however, remains one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Good question, to which I don't really have an answer. I think it evolved in slightly different form into his "Banter!" routine, which was in whichever show it was that got him nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award a few years back. The one with the elephants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Andrew Maxwell is always worth checking out when he's on, both doing his own bit and when comparing. Saw him destroy a heckler who was having a go on his way through to the SE corner one year. Superb stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he was nice when you met him ...always a bonus when the famouses are pleasant:) I concur mind you we don't get to meet many do we and a good job really.. Especially for someone like me cos I'd probably be pissed and make a fool of myself lol.. My son book's bands down here and I did met Pete Doherty once when I gave him a Amy Winehouse clock.. I helped myself to a massive bottle of champagne after he had pulled the Cork just missing me lol.. Bloody great bloke bloody tall as well but really well spoken even though he was hammered..

MrZigster Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 You've given me a flashback. I have a story about meeting Babyshambles (I think it was. It may have been The Libertines but the timing seems wrong). It is far from a funny story and has no place in a comedy thread. Remind me and I'll tell you at the meet if I'm coherent enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also one of the funniest things I've ever seen - made more poignant when performed next to the oil painting of Frankie Boyle that they have on the wall in The Stand.

Zoo Music Girl Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Sorry to revive an ancient thread, but couldn't see a more recent one - just wondered if any of you comedy fans have ever been to Machynlleth Comedy Festival? I've just bought tickets on an absolute whim and am excited. Would love to hear from someone who's been (started a thread over in UK Festivals, but I know that area doesn't get a ton of traffic).

"There's only one act that can storm a post-midnight cabaret stoner crowd, and it's Woody Bop Murray's Vinyl Graveyard". Indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
