For Channel 4 . . . the Frankie Boyle Show

The Reverend!!? I've not seen Obadiah Steppenwolf for ages. Easily my favourite standup.

Likewise, The A-Team was amazing. It was just great fun and the perfect summer movie, the cast just brilliantly likeable and the whole thing a great romp. Totally shocked how much I loved this.

It was great fun, I'm hoping to get to see it again in the next week or so.

Frankie and The Reverend are both buds of mine, both writing for my Clint mag, and I got to go to this little preview of the material they're using in their upcoming TV show tonight. It was at the world's greatest comedy club, The Stand in Glasgow's West End, where I seem to be hanging out every other week and the material was as awesome as you'd imagine. I don't want to repeat any of the jokes as we signed a deal with a handshake as we came in, but when this show starts in November you're going to love it.

Allowing for the subjectivity of humour, of course. The Stand is my sister's local - she literally lives just round the corner, which is great for her as she loves live comedy - and I'm pretty sure she said she saw Frankie Boyle there and he wasn't very funny at all. Maybe it was different material.

The A-Team I'm looking forward to seeing this weekend, though. Good to hear it's as silly and fun as it looked in the trailers.

[Husamuddin]

A-Team is one of the best movies this year, easily in my top five. Its like Nextwave in some respects. Nextwave is a superhero comic in its purest form. A-Team is an action movie in its purest form.

The whole part from when they break Murdock out of prison until Murdock asks the old lady where Berlin is is the best things anyone did with a tank and a German lady. Ever.

[Stephen G]

Haven't seen the A-Team yet - and it's looking more and more like a DVD wait with the way my schedule seems to always fill up.

It does look like it'd be a blast of a movie though!

[beechk2]

Off to see A Team tomorrow, looking forward to it.

[Ron Mays Jr]

I was pleasantly surprised by the A-Team. It was a great action movie and very funny. Is it just coming out over there? It seems like it came out ages ago here.

[Jason Moncrieff]

Yeah just out. Give me a minute, I'm good...

Subjectivity of humour is a big thing. Boyle for me is hilarous, others may like Michael McIntyre, I think he's shit. Please advise who is so much funnier though, I want to hear them.

Where the hell did that come from, Gar? I didn't say Frankie Boyle was definitively not funny. I didn't even say that I don't think he's funny - having never heard his stuff I'm in no position to comment. All I said was that not everyone thinks he is funny, which is true.

Okay, didn't realise you had never heard him.

Just wanted to gauge on the subjectvitiy bit what was deemed funny. I don't think there's a comedian out there that everyone finds funny so it doesn't inform much that someone doesn't think so, but if your sister normally likes Jethro or Eddie Izzard or whatever then that would colour how I'd take her review of his new material (which I haven't heard of course so he may have gone off the boil).

She likes Michael McIntyre, I think she dislikes Dara O'Briain (sp?), she definitely loathes Al Murray (as do all with IQs over 60). As I say, she's at the Stand at least once a week so she sees a lot of different comics and she knows what makes a good show. If she says Boyle died, I'll take her word for it.

A-Team was good. Just back from seeing it. The tank bit, and Face's prison cell had me in stitches.
