No laughter.
Fewer sprayed-out droplets.
It’s a lose-win.

Someone won’t be getting scented candles this Xmas.

Is that not Vogue what’s her name?
Theodore’s Mummy.
haha! yea, she certainly leaned into Englishness once she moved there. Wax jackets and Land Rovers for Mummy and Theodore on their way to cricket.
The times doesn’t think much of it either…LOL
Silly costumes are the closest thing we get to comic material on Finding Joy. Written and produced by Amy Huberman, who also plays the ditzy title character, this ins
ufferably smug and witless ball of giddy fluff poses as a send-up of social media’s influencer culture — but, rather than satirising the nitwit conventions of a weird world, the show merely wallows in them.
Fashion blather and blunders were recurring preoccupations throughout the first series, with much of the plot revolving around convoluted scenarios that allowed our fad-mad heroine to swan around in various forms of outlandish apparel. The basics of comedy writing seemed to have been jettisoned in favour of a glorified fancy-dress party — and the bad news is that season two
Samey Huberman?
I haven’t watched it, but I’d say its at least better than another bloody show about whatever Vogue Williams is doing this week.
I always get those two mixed up, clones
More luck to both of them, they’re not blame.
aye, the divils boots don’t creek
Finally, someone calls it like it is! I thought I was the only one not admiring the emperors new clothes. If Amy Huberman has anyone in stitches, I presume they have just come out of a 40 year coma & would also find Mrs Brown’s Boys a real rib-tickler. It’s beyond desperate that she is RTE’s version of ‘comedy’.
Heh… Yeah, we don’t do scripted comedy very well at all in Ireland.
Improv, stand up – yep. But acting is very hit and miss.
I watched Fantasy Ireland the other night. From the Zig & Zag lads, so the expectations were high,
They were not met.
Hopefully it’ll improve.
RTE are there to make a variety of shows. They don’t all appeal to everyone.
According to this (http://cce.gno.ie/news/20/02/19findingjoy.php) Finding Joy was popular with 295,000 viewers. I assume that was sufficient to make a second series.
RTÉ’s comedy vehicle for Amy Huberman had an average audience of 295,000 viewers over the course of its run according to an Freedom of Information (FoI) request seen by CCÉ. The series started of with 427,000 viewers and saw it fall to 212,000 by episode 5. The six part series also saw an average of 16,500 viewers on RTÉ ONE +1, with repeats the same week getting 108,000 viewers (7,500 on +1). The series was repeated a year later getting an average of just 26,000 viewers on RTÉ2, with the +1 getting 2,000 viewer on average across the six episode. The Second series of Finding Joy is due to air on RTÉ ONE later this year.
Yup. No accounting for taste unfortunately
