A two-minute video of a recent a comedy gig with Neil Delamere in Whelan’s sponsored by Southern Comfor based on true life admittance of embarrassing things that have happened to people, Neil basing his show around the best ones.
And a few that didn’t make the cut:
“At a funeral once, and a family member of the deceased came up to me and said “Thank you for coming today”, I replied “No, thank you. It was a pleasure.”
“I’m a hairdresser and had an elderly lady come in for an appointment. When she came in she “I know your face” and I explained that I worked in the local shop for years when I was younger, she then told me that’s where she knew me from and went on to say that I looked amazing after having the baby.. I am a man.”
“Called to my friends house and was standing at the door when this guy across the road starts shouting ‘TRAMP!! TRAMP!!’ at me. I look around but it’s only me and him there. Once again he calls ‘TRAMP!’ so I said ‘who are you calling a tramp???’. Next thing this little dog comes round the corner…”
“Some guy told me worked for Focus Ireland and I said oh my God my aunt has one of those cars.”
“I walked into a fabrics store in Sligo and asked the male assistant where can I get felt?”
“I put out my hand to stop the DART on a crowded platform one morning.”
Mmf.
Thanks Karl
T’was not great, to be honest.
Hard to believe – seeing as Delamere must be one of the funniest comedians alive today.
Seriously though…. resorting to asking the audience for funny stories?

This is amazing
That one was pretty ‘armless, to be fair.
It’s like this;

Neil Delamare seems like a nice bloke to me.
I’d say you could punch him in the face a couple of times before he asked you to stop.
My mate was introducing his wife to a few old college friends when we were at a mutual friends wedding when this happened….
Mates wife: “Oh Michael, I’ve heard so much about you. And this, this must be your Mum”
Michael: “No! That;’s my wife”
wHich one ,is Michael$ wifi now¿
I’m asking for a friend.
No need to answer.
Look on the bright side, she only has to think of that moment now and she’s doing the world’s greatest pelvic floor workout.
Did similar thing with my neighbour. bumped into her whilst shopping, I’m new to the hood – turns out her ‘mum’ was another neighbour who is the same age – Awkward and ultimately, Yikes!
I think I know why those ones didn’t make the cut
I have to put my hands in my pockets to stop myself hailing the tube >_<
I suppose at least he is formally appropriating other people’s comedic material.
Ha!
I was out with friends recently and we were talking about the last stand-up show we had been to. One guy said Stewart Lee, another said he hates all contemporary stand up comedians and when he wants a fix of stand-up comedy he just watches old Richard Pryor or Lenny Bruce videos. But one guy said….Neil Delamere. There was an awkward silence which seemed to last an eternity. We quickly changed the subject.
Wow..you and your friends aren’t very nice are you?

This is very possible on an early morning after a very late night.
