This is a normal post You did! He was!?
I think he is one of the unfunniest people I have ever heard..... not just among comedians..... among ANYBODY.
And he, and most other 'black' comedians, make a living out of being 'black' but wait.... don't EVER point out their colour to them..... 'cause then you'll be RACIST!!

Chris rock almost gets away with it.... but not quite

This is a normal post Well I suppose opinions are like arseholes
Most of his material then wasn't about racism/being black, but I think his stuff on prejudice is good too.
Who are your favourite comedians then?

This is a normal post Um
I agree, he's not terribly funny.
However, as I see a rant against all 'black' (loving the quotation marks there, part of te whole "I'm not being racist but" movement. I hope. And doubt) coming, please go out and rent Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy's old stuff. Or go see Reginald D. Hunter. He's very funny.

Adam Bloom is a total cunt. That just needs to be said.

This is a normal post Whoa guys.... I can listen to Pryor or early Murphy all day....
I also really like Bruce Bruce and Lavell Crawford.... they are black and have 'black' acts..... it's not being black that is the problem..... it is the fact that he is not in the least bit funny AND plays on his blackness but moans about racism.

This is a normal post I love stephen k amos...
...but I see this guy's point about all the material being about 'being black'. I always bitch about the 'heres one defining thing about me' type of comedian.

If you are black, don't make it the sole basis for your material. If you are asian, talk about other things than your race. If you're fat, shut up about it (Jo Brand bores me for this reason), if you are a woman- try talking about something other than periods and babies.

I think it makes for lazy writing. Fine, talk about your own experiences, but everyone has common grounds that they can understand. I'm sure a fat, or female, or black comedian can talk about things that we ALL identify with.

This is a normal post Agreed
Who I really hate is bloody 'ginger' comics. They just go on and on about prejudice this, racism that. Bloody gingers.

This is a normal post Frankie Boyle makes plenty of references to Scotland
And plenty of stand ups on tv make reference to Londonesque things.

The references that SKA makes are still valid, we're just not used to having the thrown in our face the days.
