To be fair I'd think a man slagging off a male comedians looks would be just as idiotic

She apologised the very next morning, as soon as it became apparent that some people were offended.

Here's what she apologised for:

She didn't (see video above).

If she had to apologise, then her material failed. And clearly she felt her material was better than it was.

Daniel Tosh wrote controversial material about his sister getting raped-he didn't apologise, because his attitude is that 'if the joke is funny, then no subject is off limits'.
His next standup addressed this-and still no apology.

He continues to make jokes about dark subject matter.

If MAeve couldn't even make a joke about her dog funny, she's in the wrong career.

It was a funny, whimsical story. The audience laughed. They found it funny. I found it funny. Maybe you didn't, and that's fine too. Some people were offended, so she apologised - because willfully causing offence isn't part of her act.

And you took time out of your day to type that? Nothing to add to the conversation?

Yes it's so PC to think calling someone a fat slag because you don't find her funny is a bit sh*tty.

That would be "Culchie Club", Alison Spittle's latest stab at comedy. Utter drivel.

Yes, found out now what it was! Only for the excellent The Handmaid's Tale being on RTE 2 and wanted to rewatch the final episode, I would not have come across this. I discovered it was on for a whole hour from 9.30-10.30. Comedy or a poor documentary, it was I agree poor. Who is Alison Spittle anyway? Heard the name but that's about it. Maybe I am lucky!

I think most of this thread seems to imply if a comedian is irish they are crap, but if they are foreign they are edgy and one for the hipsters...

However, I think the most unfunny comedian regardless of nationality/taste has to be Ed Byrne (who just happens to be Irish).
How he has a career is beyond me?





Has he ever said anything funny since his joke about Alanis Morissette ironic song?
That was 22 years ago!

Maybe because he is mates with Dara O'Brian?

I couldn't care less. It's a term invariably used by right-wingers to describe anyone who happens to express an opinion that isn't overtly unpleasant.

Or a left wing republican who thinks that frankie Boyle is a virtue signaller.

He sort of appeared out of nowhere, then burned up in blaze of 'meh'.

Like, Dara in his early days was a bland so-called comic. He was pretty bad too.
But he worked on it, and while I'm not a fan, at least he improved.

Ed is kind of sad-I even feel like the 'funny' material he does on MTW is prewritten material, like Dara's helping him out or something. Doesn't seem to try.

That was painful, worst joke I have ever heard.

And to think she wrote and rehearsed this.

Comedy is finished.

Irish comedy is, for sure-the one's that go to England are at least trying.

Can't believe how depressing it must be to be writing your material, and seeing the state of the current comedy crop.

^ Jesus.
Between that and the reviews i read of that culchie club show, i am so happy i have not paid a tv license in years. For all the good rte do (and it does do some as a public service broadcaster), enabling that muck should be criminal offence

I stumbled across Alison Spittle waiting for The Handmaids Tale too ! What on earth was that all about . I was cringing for her until I realised it was actually some sort of comedy show !

I had never seen Jason Byrne before until he cropped up on Irelands got Talent . My god he is painful to watch and so immature and unfunny

He does the same for crap music-act like it was energetic and lively and modern, when really it is so dated I half expect it to appear on reeling in the years-the 60s.

Irish people have paid money to attend Pat Shortt gigs. . . .



I don't know where else to go after that

I got tricked into going to one of his gigs once, thankfully I didn't pay for the ticket, but it was still two hours of my life I won't get back.
