A Conversation for Great Comedy Acts
Errata: or "Why do I f**king bother?!"
Hoovooloo Started conversation Mar 28, 2003
Read the section on "The Fast Show".
Specifically: "Jesse (Whitehouse). Jesse was a tramp..."
Now read this: F110471?thread=254598&skip=24
Now, I ask you... why do I f**king bother?
And what do the Editors DO? I could train a chimp to click "Copy" and "Paste".

And while we're at it...
In the section on Steve Martin, I assume that "Dead Men Don't Wear Plait" was a film Steve Martin made either before or after he made "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid".
Calling Reeves and Mortimer "the modern answer to Morcambe and Wise" is presumably a reference to the obscure company of Yorkshire tailors Obadiah Morcambe and Joshua Wise. Of course, if it said "the modern answer to Morecambe and Wise", people might then think you meant Eric and Ernie - but surely you wouldn't compare Vic and Bob to a pair of comedians?
And to continue the theme of complete failure to get Fast Show reference correct: "The Suits-You Tailors (Whitehouse and Higson)" - this of course should read "Whitehouse and Williams".
Does someone on the h2g2 staff have some sort of problem with Mark Williams or something?
