New arrivals to the UK at Heathrow Airport can now pick up tips on how to behave correctly from Stephen Fry. The comedian has shot a short guide to British etiquette for the airport’s wi-fi page.
Fry, who made the video in collaboration with writer Graham Linehan, explains that we are a nation “renowned for its sense of humour and little quirks” such as cheering when someone drops a glass. While standing in a queue to be served in a pub he suggests that "We Brits do love a queue."
I’ve got all sorts of mixed feelings about the return of Tracey Ullman to British sketch comedy, It’s great to see an older face get a series. Even greater that it’s a woman. On the other hand why couldn’t the BBC give the slot to newer, younger and probably cheaper talent? And no doubt her return to TV and the publicity circuit means that we are going to keep hearing her bloody anecdote about mistaking Kanye West for a shop assistant that has been doing the rounds for ages.
If you want to get ahead in stand-up get a beard. Not very fair on female comedians, but that seemed to be the message during the first comedy final of 2016. Facial hair dominated the competition, which featured seven entrants chosen by Piccadilly Comedy Club boss Mike Manera. It was no surprise then that the winner was a close shave.
The first comedy final of the year takes place tonight. It's the Piccadilly Comedy Club New Comedian of the Year 2016 Grand Final and it is at the Comedy Pub in Oxendon Street, London, SW1. No heats for this one, the acts are selected from the acts that have played the club over the year.
Tonight's show is hosted by Archie Maddocks and the line-up has been confirmed as follows.
And so Matt Berry starts 2016 in typically vociferous style with his, sob, final Matt Berry Does…And appropriately he is looking at seasonal excess in Happy New You as the nation lets out an almighty collective belch having stuffed our faces to celebrate the Lord Jesus “Ukaaay Style.”
It has emerged that Doug Stanhope’s contribution to Charlie Brooker’s Wipe 2015 last night was cut from the broadcast.
Previews of the annual round-up promised an appearance from the controversial American comedian in the advance publicity: “Charlie is joined by brilliant guests including comedian Doug Stanhope and the ever insightful Philomena Cunk. It is basically like the Queen's speech but funnier, longer and contains adult humour.”
Charlie Brooker’s end-of-the-year Wipes have become essential viewing. They are the best way of making some kind of sense of the mess the world is in today. And this year’s edition was no exception.
Except there was a problem. 2015 is probably the bleakest year since Brooker has been doing these shows. It was a year bookended by two tragedies in Paris and somehow our guide had to negotiate a path that was both funny and sensitive. It was a tough call but he did it pretty well.
One Direction's Louis Tomlinson was part of a group of friends asked to leave a comedy club in London on Tuesday night.
According to reports Tomlinson was present while some others were making a noise during the show at the Top Secret Comedy Club in Covent Garden. One of the group was allegedly abusive towards one of the club's managers and they were asked to leave.
One of the performers there was Joe Bor, who said on Facebook that while the incident took place he was trying to get a selfie with Tomlinson.
Comedian Bill Cosby has been charged with aggravated indecent assault over an alleged incident in 2004. Andrea Constand says she was drugged and then assaulted by Cosby at his home.
There have been a number of accusations dating back to the 1970s, but this is the first time Cosby, 78, has been charged with any offence.
Cosby made no comment as he arrived at court to be charged where the judge set bail at $1m (£675,000).
