Romesh Ranganathan

[Alphadog]

I went to an awards ceremony in London on Thursday. The "comedian" was a woman called Njambi McGrath. Her whole act was pointing out how bad and oppressive white people are. Completely racist and un funny.

.....and just when the thread seemed to have turned a corner......

Don't mind him, ok in some things shit in others. I'm not going to get wound up about him put it that way

 

[JAZZMANB]

Is it just me or does he seem to be on a different programme every week? Since Christmas it feels like I've been unable to turn on the TV without there being an advert for yet another programme featuring him?

It's not like hes even that funny.

Agree ,must have a mint agent
He's okay but not that okay
Few others the same ,turn up on everything

 

[somersetgas]

He's average, but he's far better than several more famous white comedians. Russell Howard, I'm looking right at you.

I must admit I hated the bloke, made me sick and instantly turn the tv off when I saw him, but I got bought a ticket for a small show in Bath last week, that lasted for ages and was a warm up for his stadium stuff later in the year and I have never laughed so much, I wanted to hate him as a Bristol City fan but would pay to see the standup, tv a totally different matter.

Exactly. I've got nothing against him. Hes good on shows where he has other comedians to play off but on his own on things like Judge Romesh I just dont get it.

 

[The Continuing Story]

I’m not against anybody being on TV, but I think people should be selected for jobs and shows based on being the best at what they do, not just to tick boxes.

If you think that hes been given about 6 TV shows on various channels because he's Asian then you are genuinely not very clever

 

[safcrob]

Has he appeared in Game of Thrones?

 

[Fred Secrets]

You're probably getting him mixed up with Ed Sheeran.

 

[Ludwig]

I like him too.
Doesn’t bother me that he’s got one eye looking at you and the other one looking for you.

So , what you’re saying is he’s looking at me.

Made me sick.

 

[MackneyHackem]

Made me sick.

Like that little Britain sketch when he hoys up when he hears the word ‘lesbian’.

 

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

I think he’s ok but this new Ranganation thing is absolutely f***ing abysmal.

 

[Dennis]

He's a bit unfunny. But most "comedians" are now. John Bishop is considered a comedian.

 

[Panhead]

Not overly keen on him on telly. That said he warmed up when we went to see Kevin Bridges (I think). He was tremendous, went to see his solo show on back of that and he is one of the best stand up comics I've seen

My misses likes him so have caught a far bit of his TV work & whenever football has been mentioned he's supported Liverpool.

And he's from Crawley.

And he's from Crawley.

Russell Howard? Pretty sure he's from the west country. He should be supporting on of the Bristol clubs but doesnt.

My apo

My apologies. Thought he was talking about Romesh.
