Edinburgh or Bust have gone too far Posted Sun Aug 13 15:17:03 BST 2000 by kinder surprise

How dare they broadcast such arousing shots of a comedian who is, let's face it perfect in physical form?

How on earth are we supposed to go to bed following such excitement? Russell Peters stole the show, and was quite obviously the only funny one featured. I guess in the tradition of the show they have to follow one token performer with actual talent.

Do channel 4 know what they're doing? Thanks to such close ups of Peters I was coerced into staying up for 'Erotika'.

Oh yes! I've been rumbled. I was given the painfully bottom of the pit job title of 'SOTCAA PR representative'.

Come on Dr.H I'm beginning to suspect all this suspicion of yours is an elaborately constructed denial of the arousal you also feel for the gorgeous Mr.Peters.

Dr.H I have erected a Russell Peters website.

It's very clever, it's written from the perspective of a young girl who is quite obviously hormonally smitten on Mr.Peters. I found this style of writing very easy.

Would you like to visit it? It has many images on him on it. And you could use a shandy as a control item.

Posted By Dr. Hackenbush on Sat Aug 19 10:10:34 BST 2000:

kinder, I saw him on EoB last night. Believe me, I could hardly have been less aroused. Also, did I miss it or did they not actually show him on stage? Maybe he just specialises in talking to camera-crews and appearing on posters. Is his act the same standard as the rest of the rubbish they have on this show?
I mean, it's really depressing. Although the Corpses have an irrational dislike of Adam Bloom, he is recognisably a stand-up. I mean, he actually tells jokes that use language to subvert your expectations and thus create a humourous reaction. But the current crop:

Aussie bloke: "Woo-hoo! Fucking fucking Edinburgh fucking Pommy wankers!" [huge audience cheer]
Aussie bint: "I took myself into Debenhams this afternoon. Whoops, fashion alert! (pulls surprised face]. Then I went to Woolies [pulls surprised face]. Then I took it up the arse! [pulls surprised face]"

The 2 with the TVs looked like a good idea, but they didn't show anything very funny.

Talk about lowered expectations.

Someone who's at the Fringe please tell me - these Gilded Balloon-sponsored acts aren't representative, are they?

Oh yeah kinder, stop being nasty to subbes. Her site is probably a lot better than your Peters-oriented creamfest.

I'm not being nasty to her. I just like to push boundaries. I eagerly await a genuinely wonderful retort from her. That's all I'm after. She's a great cream-less writer after all.

Incidentally, they did show snippets of Russell on stage. You were most likely blinded by the beauty. And I do agree that the other comedians are a little wanting. But let's face it the programme is scheduled as a warm up for 'Frontal'.

Most people grew out of that sort of thing when they left secondary school. Or is it a side effect of the very same drugs that make you 'adore' this Peters (who has the looks of a frog in a blender) that you forget how to act like anything other than a hormone-controlled bitch?

Posted By kinder surprise on Sat Aug 19 23:37:29 BST 2000:

Mr.Biggles I would take your thoughtful advice but you ruined it all by comparing the untouchable looks of Mr.Peters with 'a frod in a blender'. It certainly doesn't say a lot for YOUR hormonal urges if you see frog carnage as something sexually arousing. I thought people grew out of that mindset after secondary school...

And I love subbes. Disguising that love is what life's all about.

The Dougs were damned unsuccessful as a duo - we kept saying to them "It's a matter of basic arithmetic boys" but did they listen, oh no...

Hey, two Perrier winners were Aussie duos - Los Trios Ringbarkus and Lano and Woodley. I reckon we do comedy duos damned well (Supergirly actually started in London, so nyah, they're yours Jon).
We also have Scared Weird Little Guys - always popular at the Spiegeltent at previous Fringes. And for your duo + 1 you can't go past the dynamic Tripod.
Absolutely excellent live act.
