Heard ‘The Brig Society’ for the first time.
Quite painful.
Even the audience weren’t really laughing.
Here’s a sample…
If you don’t want abuse on social media don’t take on the Scottish Nationalists:
Don’t call their beliefs a lot of blue faced william wallacy bollocks...because
I’d have provoked less rage and furious threats if I’d poked a hole in the Stone of Scone and worn it as a prophylactic whilst riding round Glasgow naked singing Donald where’s your troosers and flinging Union Jack painted haggis’ at the locals screaming batter that then you wee ginger health statistic!
Funny he wouldn’t dare say such things about a Muslim community….
I’d have provoked less rage and furious threats if I’d poked a hole in the Koran and worn it as a prophylactic whilst riding round Luton naked singing Jihad where’s your Burkha and flinging Israeli flag painted onion bahjis at the locals screaming behead that then you wee bearded terrorist!
Well said there!! As a test of endurance and character I decided that I must listen to this crap all the way through without switching off. I’ve never done it before. I did manage to succeed but it is an experience I will never attempt again while sober!
This overpaid Al BeeB ‘comedian’ isn’t worth listening to. Being a masochist I did listen to yesterday’s programme too, and refreshingly it was relatively free of the usual ‘edgy’ (read anti-tory) crap.
It was though, still, total, juvenile, unfunny crap! Good job I was having a few drinks over lunch or I would probably have attacked the wireless!
It really is shockingly poor even by current Radio 4 comedy standards. We can only surmise how it got commissioned.
Putting aside the fact Brigstocke has a face you could slap all day, this show is absolutely dire. I can only assume it makes use of the current nitrous oxide loophole to elicit any response from the audience whatsoever.
Brigstocke makes Jeremy Hardy sound like Kenneth Horne in comparison. It is the worst radio comedy I’ve heard in a very long time and I listen to Radio 4 Extra every day.
Is it at all possible that his father, Dominic Brigstocke, who was a senior production executive on several BBC comedy series, may just have given him a helping hand? Surely not, I can’t see a family of media lefties using the old boys’ network to get ahead, can you?
That is interesting. Having, luckily, avoided most of Brigstock Jr’s execrable output I don’t know if he has ever ranted about the upper classes giving each other a helping hand (eg Bullingdon Club old boys). Does anybody else know?
Jeremy Hardy infamously said on the News Quiz ” The world would be a better place if every BNP supporter was killed.”
But would it ? is what’s happening in the Middle East Nick Griffins fault ?
Could he be the white equivalent of Lenny Henry?
I think you are all being a bit harsh on the lad. Brigstock must be one of very few, if any, people who can strike a pose like the one above and make themselves look less of a tw@t. Now that is talent.
The man even looks like your typical middle-class home counties big mouthed prat. I’d love to lamp him!
I intend doing just that !
That photograph, Marcus Brigstock is not pulling a face, he’s actually like that 24 /7.
I would just like to add in my own small way, some attempt at wit and edgy with at that. Here goes…
Marcus Brigstock is a CUNT!
Six Thirty on Radio4, the Marxist Propaganda Slot dressed up as alleged ‘comedy’ but fooling nobody other than the already converted. I gave up listening to it a long time ago after the game of Try and Spot a Funny Bit got ever more boring and tedious, especially when the same few pathetic attempts at making a joke are repeated in every single programme ad nauseum.
