What an absolutely perfect stand-up performance. So proud to be your friend Emma ❤
Brilliant!
From Rotherham… the posh bit.. 😂😂😂
Watching this channel has been my turning point.
The presenter needs to be replaced. Always making clear he had a preference for the male competitors and always asking for cheerings for men last.
A wrestling ring? Oh well, the British always loved wrestling with puns....
cuz woke comedy is just so funny, almost as funny as academics
He’s a Legend I am so glad hes alive. Paul, if you’re reading this, well done x
A total star in the making! Go see this talent!
Absolutely brilliant festival, Managed to see 16 comedians. Cant wait for next year.
Dystrophy woman deserved more in my opinion, some great premises and delivery. Edit: 4 comedians down and no blokes? What is this? Just be normal... its comedy. Further edit: just skipped throughout and saw all women? This has become a fluff piece as opposed to whats funny. Unsubscribing, utter lunacy. (Dont kill comedy)
Thanks for having me. It was a lot of fun!
Great work Sir!!
@@FrederickJDaviesThanks Frederick!
Ok guess I’ll say it…I think you meant “a lot of pun”. 🙄

I swear I've heard Gary Delaney do that Disclaimers joke
Top notch if you ousted the madam Sindhu Vee 👏👏 mad respect the credit you gave her ABK. You are definitely a gentleman
Seems like a trivial accomplishment for the Interdimensional ABK.
Great to see Alf there
That Jack the Ripper joke was similar to Something Tim Brooke Taylor did years ago on Clue
Lee didn't pull his Pun-ches there
To be fair back in the early 1990s I was more focused on the Leicester Music Scene. And even when I became aware of the comedy festival I think the only time I popped over from my home city of Birmingham was for Craig Charles gigs. But post-lockdowns, having picked up on some fantastic comedians on Zoom gigs in the meantime, have found the Leicester Comedy Festival an essential part of my calendar. Went to 31 shows this year. Long may it continue. 🙂
Thanks for having me! Here's to another 30 years
Wowza! That's me right at the beginning after Arthur Smith!
" Have you ever wondered how comedy affects a comedian's mental health?" No. But i would suggest that if people not finding you funny is detrimental to your health, then stop trying to be a comedian. It may not be for you.
This is so incredibly British, I can smell the tea radiating from my monitor.
But it can't be a Porn mag,the pages aren't stuck together
Firuz Ozari bit about selective breeding was genius
That bloody lass bringing up the comedians is driving me up the wall, I know it's not "PC" to say this but surely a bloke would sound better?
This man totally cpaitualte to the Islamic vote, and dare not do anything against them He Peter Soulsby are carrer politicians, they dont care about the right thing to do but only what keeps them in office. Totally heinous! They became politicans for a cushy lifestyle! £175, 000 plus expenses a second home! DO not vot this man. He works only for one communitty! Thsi is where the block vote wags the tails that wags the dog.. He had no time for me, when I asked him on the damgerous parking outside the Mosques which killed a nurse several people saying he is too busy for such serious matters, but he can find every Friday for a photo opp in Raamaaan!
What?? Terrys not real??! 😂😂😂 mind blown Jody :)
This happened when he was 10.
Leicester South MP #JonAshworth gets new job in shadow cabinet He had been the longest-serving shadow health secretary in Labour's history. An MP I contacted on instagram who then deleted his account after I asked him WHY HAVENT YOU EVER HELPED ME KNOWING THAT I HAVE LIVED 12 YEARS OF BEING TOLD THAT I CAN DIE ANY DAY. I WAS RIGHT NOT TO TRUST HIM . #JonathanAshworth
They should call these matches: "Ping-Pun".

Sinduu vee IS hilarious tho, I found her thanks to abk and I am very grateful, and I sincerely apologize if I misspelled anything.
Top bloke, easily the funniest man without eyebrows
The Interdimensional ABK!!!!
The algorithm strikes again and spews forth the interdimensional ABK
Was NOT expecting to find the eyes of a hawk and a human man's walk, the interdimensional ABK, here, on my random algorithm.
Not bad at all
Absolutely cracking first time
Painful!
