His hypocrisy makes his sanctimony unbearable.
He is capable of being funny, but this particular whiny little bitch routine got very stale, very quickly.

I've never been a fan of the smug-faced cunt.
But shredding £10,000* on social media during the height of a cost of living crisis was never going to go down well with anybody.
*He claims that he didn't actually shred the £10K and the wads of cash he filmed himself shredding were fakes. But it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this was more utterly short-sighted backtracking.

I did think he was funny when he first started appearing on tv.
But then I swear the first time I saw Sarah Millican do a routine I thought she was funny. That must have been a dream though.

I'm not entirely sure there are any funny female stand-ups.
Apart from Eddie Izzard, and I'm not certain that he counts.
I also used to think that Joe Lycett was funny, but that's when I was confusing him with his less-smug doppelganger, Joe Cornish.

You do realise that other people can see what you type don’t you?

Yes. What bit did you take most exception to?
There's an ignore button if you find my contributions overly triggering.

Glorious, Unrepeatable and The Definite Article are all solid gold routines.
He did go off the boil after that.

The bilingual skit from Dress to Kill is one of the great contemporary stand‐up performances, in my opinion.
I say 'contemporary', must be 20+ years old now. Christ.

His French and other foreign languages stuff really irked me, because, at least when he started doing it, his French was fucking shit. Maybe I should check out your suggestion, but if he speaks French in it, I’m not going to like it.
