I’ve never been one to self promote on here, but I felt the need to show what I poestd on my blog. There’s some classic bits of him with Opie & Anthony for download the deserve to be heard. There was so much more to Patrice than just Pitbull and Elephant In The Room.

Comment on Watch a sneak peek of IFC’s “Comedy Bang! Bang!” by Sandi

I think the CBB show will be the best thing ever or the worst thing ever. For some reason I've deicded it has to be one or the other, nothing in between. There is certainly enough material/characters/funny people involved to make it great, i just worry it won't translate well to screen. For example, i find the Chupacabra/Fabrice Fabrice/Bobby B characters infinitely funnier as guests on a podcast then shoehorned into Nick Kroll's Comedy Central special. It felt forced and I worry this show will feel the same.I'm putting way too much thought into a show I won't be able to see unless it's on Hulu.

I've been watching College Humor's vieods for almost a year now and I cannot tell you how happy I am to see that they really did it and are getting a TV show. I've always thought they were some of the funniest people I know and it is so cool to see some underground funny people make it up to the top and become famous. Congratulations College Humor!

Comment on How does Michael Caine speak, exactly? Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon voice-off in “The Trip” by Criss

very funny, some classic lines and real spralke. saw them on bbc breakfast saying how its not scripted just directed by ideas and that makes it all the fresher, well recomended. As your new role of t.v critique does this mean your going to do a regular Corrie update? And what about that Kirsty Allsop jumping onto the cafty bandwagon? Good/Bad/indifferent?

Comment on SNL #36.10 RECAP: Host Jeff Bridges, musical guests Eminem and Lil Wayne by Evelyncita

SNL and all their offshoots and spnioffs should just be put down already, it's been terribly, embarrassingly, cringe-worthily unfunny for years and years now. Just stop humiliating yourselves NBC, your show that used to be good 30+ years ago is now crap, get over yourselves.

Comment on Your chance to help schedule Montreal’s Just For Laughs in 2012 by Kayla

I haven't been to the festival mlyesf (despite living only an hour away until last year). My boyfriend lived in Edinburgh last year though and went to so many comedy events- he had an incredible time. He also tried in vain to buy us tickets to see Terry Pratchett at the film festival but they sold out in seconds.This year I was tempted to see Neil Gaiman again but I'll wait until he's next in London. For me it would be favourite author always.
