    Some of his stories are pretty funny, especially (ive posted it before so won't do it again) when he got stopped by the police and breathalysed but wasn't driving.

    my dad had his sinderella pantomime on video. I remember my parents were out so I watched it (aged 11 ish), it was great for an 11 year old in 1990. His material and attitude hasn't moved with the times and I wouldn't watch him now.

    my top three comedians now

    jimmy carr, so good at dealing with hecklers 
    Jack Whitehall, just a funny guy
    frank skinner, doesn't swear

    I strongly disagree!

    Those videos above of Davidson are embarrassing. Whenever Question time is somewhere thick you'll always get some old fat bloke or a woman who stinks of cat and gin, even from the TV, asking why they don't settle in France and it's the same answer each time. Perhaps they don't want to know the answer? Even if you disagree with it ask a follow up question instead of starting from square one again.

    Back to Davidson. I first heard of him in the 90s when Big Break was on TV. Found him witty and hilarious and didn't really care about his act before i was born. It seems some people couldn't forgive it and so he's given up and is now appealing to the folk who call people snowflakes, want Love Thy Neighbour back on TV but cry at a joke about the royal family. All pretty sad really.

    Blimey, Chubby Brown!

    Went to see him in Newcastle in the early 80's while working up there.

    Made the huge mistake of getting up to go for a pee mid performance, never, ever have I taken so much abuse, I was scared to come back in.

    I wasn't being serious and can only imagine. Hard luck on you, but a schoolboy error on your part given his reputation. Less embarrassing to have stayed put and got damp I should think!

    I’ll tell you who my favourite stand-up is: Stewart Lee. Seen him live. I’ll hazard a bet that Jim Davison hates him.
    And vice versa.

    I'd love to see Davidson and Lee in a UFC cage fight.

    Davidson could stand in his corner and shout his beliefs at Lee. Davidson's fans in the crowd would cheer Davidson to the rafters, celebrating the fact that there is a world in which it's still 1976, whilst muttering to each other "it's right what he says you know, but everyone else is too scared to say it". 

    Lee would stand there, mostly in silence, occasionally raising his eyebrow, before moving onto a monotonous whinging monologue, which his ultra aware fans will laugh at hysterically, safe in the knowledge of their moral and intellectual superiority over the Davidson fans. Lee's occasional punchline will be loudly applauded by his fans, whilst muttering to each other "He's so clever - Davidson's fans simply won't get his narrative and comedic nuance". 

    Then they could helpfully lump seven shades of shit out of each other.

    Happy days.

    Fair enough. I’ve seen Stewart Lee but haven’t seen him either whinging or standing in silence.

    I knew you wasn't, just seeing his name was a blast from the past. Made Jim look like an angel.

    Up here in Sheffield chubby brown was  going to be on at the city hall only last year I think.but the council banned the show they got loads of complaints for banning it.
    Think the majority lost to the minority of politically correct councillors which seems to be the way the world works now days. 
    Hugely popular with his audiences. He must be getting on a bit now. I'm surprised to hear he was still looking to perform given his age. If he's been cancelled (not terribly surprising to be fair as he was well OTT even in his day) he'd better watch that his bank accounts don't get closed. They'll probably tell him to take his money elsewhere. Northern Cock perhaps  B)  
  • I think Jim is 69 or 70.

    I meant Roy Len. I wasn't even sure he was still alive tbh. Must have missed last years news story about his show being cancelled.
