Johnny Vegas

[Profondo Rosso]

:icon_lol: for t'record I despise Davidson, I like Peter Kay though, but he has become very repetitive now.

My favourite stand ups are Ross Noble, find him hilarious, and an aussie called Adam Hills, if anyone saw him at Leeds he was the one crowd surfing his wooden leg around the audience.

Ross Noble is definitely a northern thing IMO. All Northerners i know worship him, but i dont get the guy at all

And yeah Johnny Vegas is awful, but i did like him in the role as the landlord in an episode of Black Books.

I know lots of "Northerners", they have never mentioned him. Likewise, I have never heard of him. I blame my northerners for having never mentioned him.

Only ever seen him on Have I Got News For You and he was quite funny about immy Saville

 

[BOB HAZELL]

Am I the only one who finds it puzzling why this guy is considered funny ?

No.

 

[BOB HAZELL]

i didnt think he was too bad in Ideal

Fair shout.... Decent programme, that.
Suppose I should at least give him credit for that - I think he co-wrote/produced???

My take appears to be that Vegas is a knobend, but is characters are very good and he plays them very well. That said, I don't think they are particularly complex characters.

I have never seen anything of him other than in Benidorm or Sex Lives of the Potato Men.

He once appeared on 'Win, Lose Or Draw' with famous Leyton Orient fan (as famous as they get) Bob Mills.

Sad thing was, Johnny was the member of the public. The celebrities of that episode included Yvette Fielding, Cheryl Baker, and Kriss Aka(fecking)busi.

In such witty company, Vegas failed to shine.

Gotta love 'Blackball' though. Even though Johnny Vegas is in it.

I believe Vegas very very nearly got the part of Sam in The Lord Of The Rings Triology
