Craig Charles: Live on Earth

[Anonymous]

Just mentioned this in another topic but thought it was worth its own thread.

Anyone else seen Craig Charles’ standup?

I remember being very excited about seeing it when I found a copy on VHS a couple of years ago…and then sitting it stunned silence as the 80 minute long car crash unfolded.

The sound of the audience laughter slowly diminishing throughout the first five minutes…followed by heckles, stoney silence, craig’s cap gun and embarrasing prison references…pathetic gags and observations…and the bit where he orders pizza for no good reason and when it arrives it gets nicked by two disgruntled punks in the audience.

Just awful, poor fella. Am I being overly harsh? I did like a couple of the poems.

There’s a review of it here somewhere…

Hmm. I thought it was longer. Anyway, there is one, and while it’s probably 100% accurate, I still kind of want to see the videos in question.

He’s alright on stage for a 5 minute slot but no more.

Coming soon: “Craig Charles – Die on Stage”. Including; some material you’ve heard before in a slightly different order. And that Dildonics joke, probably.

I’d still rather watch Craig on stage than Peter Kay or Ricky Gervais.

Me too, but only because I could throw stuff at him.

I have both the “Live” stand-up shows he did, I also went to see him in York, way back when. He was pretty good really, I enjoyed the show.
