I remember going to exactly that party 🥳

True story 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤪🤪🤪

Sjinzar Austin he’s sickeningly smug as well

@@chrishopkins209- Hi, Chris! Yep. I'm sorry to say that I'm not a big fan of Tom's yet. Some guests are strictly solo stand-up performers (very good ones, too), but they're clearly a little insecure career-wise and have an ego that makes it hard for them to share an audience. Some of the regulars have gone beyond the "Look at me, I'm almost a minor celebrity!" stage and happily share the spotlight: they'll willingly feed their fellow professionals straight lines, knowing that they'll not get the laugh this time... Tom's too anxious that the camera's on somebody else. Michael McIntyre and Sarah Millican are both brilliant on their own, too, but I find it quite uncomfortable watching them in shows where they're amongst fellow comedians. Tom's clever and witty, but I think he likes to be completely in charge of proceedings, rather like Peter Kay and Lee Evans. (Lee is a holy terror to pin down if you've ever seen him interviewed on a chat show!) Dara has a really tricky job keeping things under control. Fortunately he's a master of stand-up himself and has no ego issues; I think he's a terrific host. I think Tom will mellow with time, but at the moment I'm not sure he's quite right for Mock the Week. Just my opinion... :-)

@@EleanorPeterson iv never thought about it so in depth before but yeh im not a fan either

@@EleanorPeterson WOW. A lot of personal issues? He is funny and that is his persona. Trying to become a psych major?

@@EleanorPeterson I think you’re over analysing what is essentially part of his act with the whole arrogance and need for attention from everyone, if you watch any of his solo stuff it’s exactly the same

When Ed scrunches his face when he laughs so that he looks a bit like a snarling tiger? Good stuff man

Time stamp?

@@taco8512 the joke's at 27:17

Milton is golden.

@Crazy Introvert T-Girl ofsted report on how good or bad a school is. If the headmaster is a neanderthal as per Jones' impression, it's the joke that the school has failed as a result

He's much better now. In the beginning, most of his jokes were basically "I'm gay."

Hmmmm... before even watching, I was thinking, "that's not likely", but I agree Tom Allen was genuinely really funny in this.

He is getting better

I started wondering, "I wonder what he says to his psychiatrist?" and by the end thought, "oh, that's it right there!"

Best in show. Though beating Milton for sheer wackiness takes some doing.

Not our area of expertise.

y e s 👏👏👏

Nope

MLM and WLW solidarity

Max Hughes u okay?

He’s 19 years older than me and he described pretty much every kid’s birthday party _I_ ever endured! 😅

Nothing for it but to embrace the Hawaiian shirts as your lords and saviours...

He can't do Showaddywaddy- that's in the voice of Jimmy Savile.

And don't forget Sepladder

Showaddywaddy always makes me laugh

If you're waiting for the Jimmy Saville impression, you're going to be disappointed... :O

Same here!

Enamel!

amphetamean-queen Oh sod off. Can’t I just not like a comedian without being accused of homophobia. Even bringing up his sexuality kind of makes you the person with the issues.

@@ob2395 calm down eddy boy.

It’s just a common thing we say. Even to someone you do t know, it’s just “y’alright.” That might be the only thing you ever say to someone

hahahaha

Well, that's *ballance* innit?

The hate mail the Beeb would have got if Norcott had lost would have been quite a deluge.

@@ThatCoalSoul Only because Norcott is unfairly hated upon

Tell me you don't know winning means nothing without telling me you don't know winning means nothing. Dara has said that from the beginning. Its random.

@@cannaweallgetalong7168 did i ever say that it was stupid

Milton still a Sideshow Bob

Great job Tom!

Meh. Milton just does bits of his live act with very little relevance to the subject behind him. He *was* a comedy god a decade ago but he's in that mid-career rut most comedians go through. Allen is, like Nish Kumar, best when deviating from his "gay/brown people be like this, straight/white people be like that" schtick.

Great name.

The last one is actually quite scary

Agreed!!!

That had me laughing. He has some dark jokes mixed in with his silly, and nonsensical ones. But you don't here them much when he isn't doing standup.

Yeah, 'cause being a simpleton is a clear point of pride, regardless of how funny the man actually is.

I'm one of the many who believes he's on too often ...the fact I'm a hobbyist public comedian of at least 5 years is sheer coincidence in that matter.

The Holly Willoughby will always be such a weird and seedy one, a couple of decades too old to be 'funny'

pin the tail on the donkey

also somebody please get Ed an iron for his shirt

Genuinely funnier than anything they came up with!

This is much funnier that anything in the show.

Muffler sounds perfect though

Shouldn't that be 'Mufflr"?

Autocorrect.

That, or he’s got disgustingly dirty/hairy hands.

I thought that was the rash from his masturbation cream.

Good spot!

He should be a regular!

I feel like he's on this quite frequently

No frankie Boyle either :(

No I guess they wanted to take a Gamble on someone else. (silently gets coat and closes door)

Leanne Blake - you’re welcome 😜

There's nobody like Milton. Thank goodness.

Aw god brilliant 😂

Hes funnier on other shows

An episode or two before this Ed Gamble teased Dara about Brian Cox and Ed Burnes reacted by throwing his notebook at Gamble. It was very funny.

I think its his deadpan delivery so after he jokes, he looks away for composure maybe.

I think its his deadpan delivery. As in after he delivers a joke, he looks away to gain composure perhaps?
