Like I said, never heard of him.  And there are no pictures posted on any of those sites, so I don’t even know if I recognize him.

Although…  This is apparently his personal site.  (Is that the same guy?)  He doesn’t look familiar to me.

And I find it humorous that in one of the pictures in the Flash animation he clearly has a bunch of stuff written on his hand.

And if the TV show being referenced is the HBO one, it wasn’t “his”, though he obviously had a role on it (seven episodes according to IMDB).  Never saw or even heard of it, though.  If he is on some other show I have no idea.  And it isn’t listed on IMDB (aside from the one or two appearances on a show here or there).

I seem to have bad luck with stand-up comedians.  All the ones I’ve seen were just annoying.  I saw part of one routine by a guy who was supposed to be some big name in the business (Carrothead or something like that), and I left about halfway through to go for a walk instead.  When he wasn’t being dull, he was just obnoxious.

Oh. yeah. Carrot-Top is boring and annoying. No worries there. Everyone hates him except for a select group of morons.

Yes, sadly that’s him.

And he’s set a new standard of awfulness on the Scottish comedy circuit now. I fear I shall never again see a man booed off a stage for being shit.

And that makes me a saaaad panda.

I’m sure that if you try hard enough, Renquist, you can sign up some even worse “comedians”.  Then you can sit in the audience and sell over-ripe fruit to earn a little extra cash.

I don’t know, audiences here tend to be very forgiving of inexperienced comedians. And those that are experienced are, you know, good. We’d have trouble finding a really shit comedian that actually offends the audience to the degree they chant for him to get the hell off.

No, we’ve peaked.

It’s going on the posters for next year.

I actually met the woman who’s been charged with promoting Mr. Shapiro at the Fringe this year (she opened with “You think that was bad, think how I feel. I’ve to promote him at the Fringe.“ and looked rather depressed). I told her to use the tagline Too outrageous for the Glasgow Comedy Festival.

Ok, I’m off to bed. Goodnight, all. *hugs*

Good night, MM.

ANd that was a good line, Renquist.  Hope she uses it.

I know, I’m wasted on this degree. At least I have a fallback in taglines for shit comedy acts.

Evening to those of you here
