Humour and comedy

TheCatWoman

A lot of what people call comedy I don't understand, especially if it's full of nerdish people, I think I'm supposed to feel some recognition with them and I don't, at all.

  • TV comedy is pretty dire at the moment.  I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts (Elis and John, WDYDY, Down the Dog, Budpod and,  the king of all comedy podcasts:Three Bean Salad). I am also making the effort to go and see more stand up (usually on my own) and I saw Stewart Lee a couple of weeks ago. He was brilliant.

    I think this attitude of "modern comedy is ***" is a bit lazy to be honest. As with music, there is an enormous variety out there, you just can't wait for it to appear on BBC1 in front of you.

    For me its not just modern comedy it's comedy, old or new, it's rarely actually funny, maybe its a double empathy thing or maybe its because I analyse things to much?

    I can't do podcasts or radio, disembodied voices freak me out.

    I love comedy and couldn't imagine getting through life without it. I can be having the most rotten day but if something really strikes me as funny it will cut through it all like nothing else. I listen to podcasts or audio books at pretty much any opportunity.

    What is your preferred entertainment form? Books, music, theatre, film?
