You know how people sit around talking? They sit around and talk about all manner of things. Sometimes they know what they’re talking about. Sometimes not. Sometimes, people say really appalling things that would make someone sound like a monster, if taken out of context. Some people are just dull.

Mountains and molehills.
Folded:
- Doug Stanhope (currently speaking the truth and being highly amusing in the process on Newswipe)
- Lebowski Fest (if you live in LA you have to go. They’re even holding a celebration of ‘What Have You’)
- New trailer for Toy Story 3 (guaranteed to put you in a good mood. Full length greatness out 18th June)
- Stylo by Gorillaz (back to the 80’s, for anyone who was actually alive then)
- Bed socks (best invention since long johns. Sexy too)
Creased:
- Dentists (there’s a reason we all hate going, it’s because they hurt us with the contents of David Cronenberg’s ‘at home surgery’ kit, that’s why)
- ‘AS’ (stands for Allocated Seating. Means your trip to the cinema is about to be ruined by a tall guy with an extremely fat head)
- Gypsy weddings (not classy. Colourful though)
- Coach Trip (…returns for no reason whatsoever. The again if you’re at home in the day and not thumbing through the employment papers it might pass a few minutes of self loathing)
- Putting off getting your hair cut (…to avoid talking to someone you wouldn’t normally engage if they set up camp in your front room)
Mainstream comedians are fantastic, aren’t they? Of course they are, why else would they be on the telly?
Dawn French, Lee Mack, Justin Lee Collins, Alan Carr… the list is endless.
Just thinking about them makes us want to round up every TV executive in a small room and hack the testicles off them that they haven’t even got in the first place.
And so the following is a list – in no particular order – of some of the most brilliant, unique, prime-time repellent and, therefore, largely anonymous comedians we’ve had the privilege to have never heard.
Read what we’ve got to say, watch and listen to what they have to say, fall in love and spread the word.
