Forde & Jon Richardson

[m4rkb]

Quite a few proper comedians, even the best, have a few tales to tell about the time they died on stage but none have had to pretend the audience upsticked and left to have sex in a bog stinking of piss to get away from the embarrassment of it all.

Forde's memoirs on the matter would be as thick a the hong kong phone book if he'd actually done any gigs available for public scrutiny, other than ones behind closed doors in a room where you couldn't swing a cat with a barely post pubescent audience brought up on modern PC cobblers.

He's the Ali Dai of the comedy world - a complete and utter fraud as Cyril says. The fact he is supposed to be a top name is more laughable than anything in his tumbleweed act.

It's only down to the forgiving nature of us Midlanders round here that that place wasn't wrecked and burned to the ground. I heard the beer was about a fiver a pint, even more if it was in a bottle to make the disgruntled audience think twice about chucking it at him.

Fiver a pint? I had the impression since hearing the story that the place might be a bit of a dive.

There's been good reports on twitter though and probably good publicity in this.

Actually its an excellent venue but Fraudy just couldn't hack it but I can see he doesn't take kindly to people who rightly react negatively. I don't know why they even booked him in the first place ? Thursday nights are apparently for comedy award winners....it states in their blurb !

Blame the audience reaction and then blame the venue but it sounds more like Fraudy was just out of his depth as usual and his '' comedy '' career is the only one thing that is taking a dive.In fact it is obviously in terminal decline. Someone said earlier in a thread that this was HIS year.Can't really believe that unless he gets invited onto the bill of the Royal Variety Performance ? Still there are 2 months to go I suppose for him to make an impact

I got a tad pissed off when they were reporting on Howard Kendall.

Firstly, they hadn't a clue what to say, suggesting that they know fuck all about Kendall's long and respected career in the game, including being the youngest player at that time to appear in a Cup Final in 1964.

Secondly, none of the children producers or assistants even did a quick google check to feed some relevant information to them.

Rambling, bumbling and appalling radio.

F#ckw*ts, the lot of them on both sides of the glass.

For all his critics I think someone like Ray Stubbs would've covered this story in a very good way. Forde and Richardson are young "comedians" so I will cut them a bit of slack for not knowing the finite details of Howard Kendall's career.

Ray 'Stubbsy' Stubbs is going to do a tribute to Kendall on 'The Press Pass'.

Well Cyril lets hope they are banned from the Glee Club Birmingham atleast. On the venue the place does look pretty good mate.

How bad was it and for how long?

Doug, it didn't actually last long because they didn't have anything to say.

Of course, they said how sad it was but they were clutching at straws for any memories (as pointed out, they are too young) and as I said above, no-one fed them any snippets of HK's career to help them fill the blankness.

So they moved on quite quickly.

At least Mike Parry gave HK a good send off in 'Clash of the Titans' where he doesn't play the bumbling fool (like in the night shows) but actually sounds almost like a serious football journalist.

Happy Birthday Maude mate!

Has Fordey sent you a card?

[Jonathan Grunt]

Happy Birthday Maude mate!

Has Fordey sent you a card?

Keep it quiet - Forde's other fan will be expecting a card if Maude got one

[m4rkb]

Happy Birthday Maude mate!

Has Fordey sent you a card?

Yes but he can't open it as the pages are stuck together.

[fattmaude]

Cheers ccreds mate, you're a true gent.

Blimey...

Listened for the first time...

When you think 'thank god' when the Coral 'Charley and Farley' advert comes on you know it isn't good....

Give it a few more listens mate, you'd like it. I liked the chat with Adrian Durham .

[ccreds]

I enjoyed the chat with Durham and here's some of it. In the 3rd segment on the listen again. In it we had Durham's Peterborough garden gnome , not going to the beach because he'd burn and Richardson asking him what the atmosphere at Swansea is like despite it only being dinnertime. All this was accompanied by the enjoyable Fordey laugh. Great banter I thought between all 3 of them.
Worthy of the clips of the week surely. Video/Audio men?

I'd like to offer some alternative advice.

Turn the fucking radio off when this total shit of a programme comes on.

Worthy of the clip being chucked in a raging fire and destroyed more like.

This garbage is going to get the chop pretty soon because it's simply a pile of shit.

Forde's only on on of those 'see if we can use him for a couple of years on some dumb idiots then fuck him off into the wilderness' kind of contracts which loads of other hopeful apprentice comics get.

He's at his peak now Forde - which unfortunately for him is any half decent comedian's trough.

The bloke he presents with is also as dry as a nuns cunt. Another comedian in name only.

[cyrilthewasp]

I heard a trailer plugging this show on the Two Mikes the other night and only Richardson appeared to be on it.

Reckon they are dropping the abysmal Fraudy good and proper and getting someone else in as Richardsons sidekick.

Its a cut throat business but it makes perfect sense.

[m4rkb]

Ha ha. At last a talksport decision that actually works in favour of it's audience.

[kevin04]

The trail for this show is terrible. Durham's show sounds more appealing than this shit.

"I'm a calm and collective rational man. You are an alcoholic who cries in the pub"

"If you drink at an all you can eat buffet, you are a fool"

That's pretty sound advice, I find it's a great antidote myself to gleefully switch off every time I know he's coming in, thank god radios have on/off buttons on them that's all I can say.
