Sarah Millican ...

[naomi24]

... at least I think that's her name. I just inadvertently stumbled across what I think was a chat show hosted by her. Does anyone really watch that voluntarily?

[woofgang]

She (Sarah Millican) is better than that show which I cannot watch. I love Victoria Wood and her observations on life, the best person for that before her was Joyce Grenfell.

[yogasun]

I can't stand her Naomi but then I can't stand most comediennes.

Victoria Wood an exception

[ummmm]

I like her so yes, I do watch voluntarily :-)

[naomi24]

Apart from anything else, her voice is enough to put me off. If I knew her in real life I'd make every effort to avoid her. Awful!

[ummmm]

There are lots of comedian's that I don't find funny but end up watching because of other people in the house. I always end up laughing so have come to the conclusion that I'm easily amused :-)

[xstitcher]

Three cheers for Victoria Wood. I like Sarah Millican on Graham Norton but not on her show......she's cleaner on his I guess.

[B00]

I like her, think she's quite funny.

[Kathyan]

I like her. I also like Victoria Wood.

[emmie]

i find her quite funny at times.

[naomi24]

I don't know about her jokes - for me it was just her! Janet Street Porter has a similar effect on me. Urrgh!

(My husband's face was a picture of incredulity when I sat there watching. So funny!).

You're not alone.

I've had conversations about Sarah Millican with mates of mine, none of whom can stand her.

I absolutely love her to bits. In fact, she's the only stand up currently working that I would get tickets for (in a heartbeat).

It's difficult to explain why some comedy tickles you and some leaves you cold (because it's so subjective), but with Sarah, a lot of it is het accent (love the Geordie brogue) and delivery...her jokes are almost secondary to that.

My favourite:

I bought Heat magazine because on the front cover was a story about famous celebrities who'd ballooned in weight. I thought, 'I'll have some of that'. And the first story was about an actress who had ballooned...remember...'ballooned' to a size 12!!! Size TWELVE!!! I'd give my right arm to be a size 12....in fact I think my right arm is a size 12...

That made me roar, but again, it was the delivery that did it for me...

As for Victoria Wood...

Genius.

I've been a fan since that days when she used to provide the topical songs on That's Life. I don't think this country has produced a better comedy writer than her...ever.

The 'Two Soups' sketch is as good as anything I've ever seen...

And why she isn't a Dame yet is beyond me. The very definition of 'national treasure'. Media URL: http://youtu.be/Z6aYLOf8CUQ

We started watching it becasue we enjoyed her stand up but after 2 episodes turned it off.

[B00]

Victoria Wood's Let's Do It song still makes me chuckle.

[weecalf]

Should some serious programmes not do a programme on so called comedians . comediennes . Like news night exposes the not funny shows .Fake Humour with domnic whats his name .Id watch that .

[B00]

What's fake humour? Do you mean canned laughter? Television comedies have been using those for decades and they still manage to be genuinely funny.

[Old_Geezer]

She's amusing. I'll watch if she's on, but like most TV these days, it's mainly on for company, background chatter/sound. Like much comedy it's either your "cup of tea" or it's not.

[grumpy01]

Perhaps they could consign Sarah Millican,keith Lemon and Jimmy carr to a desert island somewhere never to be heard of again.

[B00]

i like all 3 of those ^
