Creased or Folded? hecklerspray Tells You the Way it is
Folded:
- In the Loop (more creative swearing than you’ll ever need)
- Stewart Lee (for having the stones to allow his recent awful TV show to air at all)
- Vintage ice creams (good old Freaky Feet. Though spot the one that shouldn’t be there)
- Laughing at people attempting to have a picnic in lukewarm sunshine (bet that tin of Frutini is transporting you right to Bondi beach, isn’t it?)
- gamesTM (far, far, far and away the best video games magazine on the market)
Creased:
- This hair (belongs on a man who only ever wears black 501s)
- BBC2 not showing the second season of The Wire straight away (‘in a few weeks’ they say. ‘Mid May’ we’ve heard. When’s season three going out then? Christmas Day?)
- V-Water (the orange one smells like baby piss. Probably tastes like it too, you’ll have to ask around to confirm that)
- Desperate Housewives anti-climax (kill a character somebody might care about why don’t ya?)
- Picturehouse cinemas (full of poncy tossers who think that smiling is only for those without a post-grad education)
Poncy tossers and Hecklerspray writers I’ll have you know.
Hecklerspray writer, Keith. Singular.
I agree, Stewart Lee’s show wasn’t funny. This is the first mention of dissent I’ve heard; his massive reputation prevents people from saying anything in case it looks like they don’t get it.
Putting him in Creased was a bit of a hedgy-bets cop-out though…
Oops, meant Folded. What do I know? I can’t tell which is better.
You’re right, of course, but putting him in Creased would have meant bumping baby piss V-Water, and I wasn’t about to let that happen.
it wasnt that bad. didnt like the looking at the camera thing he kept doing. was a bit too “fast show”…nice…..
his direction reminded me a bit of Bill Hicks. Probably what he is striving for. where half the audience are unwittingly laughing at themselves, and the other half (i hope) feel a bit uncomfortable.
Except he did that Dyl Spicks thing where he mocked the uncritical pandering directed at ‘classic’ standup, even when it’s not relevant (or funny) any more.
At least I think he did.
I might not have got it.
