OK so the guy is unbearable. That hardly needs to be said. He is a lucky man riding on very little talent and a lot of front. But I have to say I was somewhat won over when watching the stand up in his C4 show. It was very well written but it stank of Gina Yashere who is a very competent comedienne. It stank so much of her that even before reading the credits I was convinced she was a writer on the show and sure enough she was.

Richie seems a nice enough Christian boy turned media freak but it breaks my heart that he is positively saving his otherwise piss-poor show with the words of a genuinely apt performer in her own right.

I don't even know what C4 are thinking trying to cater for an ethnic clientelle with a bad rapping MTV chancer with relatively the amount of talent the shaping of his structural moustache-beard combo requires.

I hope Gina Yashere is making a tidy packet propping up a man whom she could out-perform on any stage without wanton cries of 'Who's the Woman?'
