I remember Frankie Howerd was booked to do a corporate entertaiment slot at a conference for fairly young folk about 12 years ago
Although he went down a storm at the Oxford Union a few years later. As did Jim Bowen more recently.

Clearly there is a difference between choosing to pay to watch/take the mick/get nostalgic and having it thrust upon you by your employer!

is it me or is Harry Hill just completely unfunny and always has been?
nope its not just you .
I wouldnt mind too much as he seems a nice bloke but the press went mad about him saying he was an absolute comic genius
as far i could see he just recycled alot of very poor stuff that Vic and Reeves seem to have thrown out

Agree with the Peter Kay comments, don't really find him funny.

Frank Skinner seems to be losing the plot as well...

Lenny Henry never was all that funny, and his missus, F*ck me never ever funny.

Tiggs, hmmm, Ricky Gervais as a pawn in someone else's game, cant see the irony of the show, get real mate, the guy is right at the cutting edge of comedy, the office is the outer limits making the so called alternative comics of the 80s and 90s look as out of date as the ones they replaced such as Bernard Manning and Stan Boardman.
