Still.

Thought you might be interested in this. Aisling Bea (above) is a very funny young lady from Kildare who last night won the prestigious ‘So You Think You’re Funny?’ award at Edinburgh Fringe, becoming only the 2nd woman in 25 years to do so. It’s also been won by Peter Kay and David O’Doherty in previous years. So you know….that’s pretty
good isn’t it?! She still wishes she was Rose of Tralee though.

 

Here’s Aisling in a self-penned comedy short for St Patrick’s Day:

Widespread Rain And Thundery Downpours Forecast (Met Eireann)

Thanks Bibi Baskin Robbins

From the Scotsman:

1. Sara Pascoe: “Why did the chicken commit suicide? To get to the other side.”

2. Sean Hughes (above): “You know city-centre beat officers… Well are they police who rap?”

3. Gyles Brandreth: “I’ve got nothing against lesbians. I mean, that’s the point isn’t it?”

4. Doc Brown: “I was born into the music industry. My dad worked in Our Price.”

5. John Luke Roberts: “I made a Battenberg where the two colours ran alongside each other. I called it apartheid sponge.”

6. Sarah Millican: “I bought a cross-trainer to keep fit. I suppose that it’s not enough to just buy it.”

7. Bec Hill: “Some of my best friends are vegan. They were going to come today but they didn’t have the energy to climb up the stairs.”

8. Dan Antopolski: “How many Spaniards does it take to change a lightbulb? Juan.”

9. Andi Osho: “Floella Benjamin is in the House of Lords. How did she get in, through the round window?”

9. Gareth Richards: “My mother is always taking photographs of me – she said if you disappear tomorrow I want you to look good on the news.”

10. Emo Philips: “I like to play chess with bald men in the park although it’s hard to find 32 of them.”

Come on kids, the man needs a holiday. Never mind, watch this very rich substitute from the guys at Apres Match. OK, you’ve seen it before. But you’ve seen Fargo more than once, right?

We hope the Apres crew are just like us: like-minded guys (and in our case, a good number of ladies) working, without ego, for a common satiric purpose. We’d hate to think they were in it just for the bread. We’d hate to think they had ego issues with one another and didn’t enjoy a smoke or a pint and a game of billiards like we do in Karl’s basement.

We’d hate to think those talented, funny guys spend every night, before going to bed, on their knees, praying to the comedy gods to keep Dunphy, Giles and creaky, old Bill alive. Whatever it takes,

Long enough to milk the last drop of laff juice from old men’s udders. Long enough to make that final, bittersweet mortgage payment.

We’d hate that very much.
