slemslempike | New Comedy Awards (Reply)

I've just listened to the New Comedy Awards on BBC7 (Monday at 23.00). I actually attended the recording of this, and of the next week's semi-final, both in Manchester. It was really weird listening to the comedians, who come over completely differently on the radio. Also, the judges' remarks are inserted between the acts, so you get to hear what they think. They were pretty dismissive of the women taking part. I was annoyed because the singing woman's best song (I don't want to take it up the arse tonight) was cut, adn then they made a comment about how women shouldn't just talk about sex because they're representing all women comedians. Oh. Women shouldn't talk about sex? Why not? She was hilarious, even after they cut out her best stuff.
