Anyone bought Peter Kay tickets ?

[chuff me dizzy]

I got ours after an hour paid £61 each ,Seatwave are charging FROM £495 each they need shutting down

[T*]

no

[Wizard.]

Yeah I got tickets for my partner for Christmas I first tried Gigs and Tours but they sold out then Ticketmaster but they could only send to my billing address and I needed a different delivery so then I tried the Manchester Arena website directly and luckily managed to get 2 for £110 don’t think people think about buying from the venue.

[Headie]

Why are they so expensive :/

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes got 2 early this morning for Glasgow, £38.50 each for May 2018 :amazed:

Comedians with wit. Peter Kay relies on nothing but nostalgia and his northern accent to be seen as 'funny'. As Amy said, he is very basic.

It's also called comedy. By a comedian. On a stage at a comedy gig. It's not real, and the humour is in the shock factor of the joke, not the target itself.

But hey, I always suspected the double standards on here were real :think:

It's a point I meant to make in those threads a while back before they were closed. The 'PC gone mad' crowd have absolutely no issues with potentially radically insensitive costumes, it's just 'a bit of fun' after all and people need to 'lighten up', but a comedian making jokes on a comedy stage? Morals! Vile! Lock 'em up! Ban it!

Priorities in the wrong place methinks...

You don't get to decide what comedy is, Chuff. Humour is subjective, there are people in this thread who don't find Peter Kay funny, you and others do - we are all unique and have different interests, such is the beauty of life.

Frankie Boyle is a professional comedian. People pay money to see him do a comedy gig, where he tells jokes, like a comedian does. As with all dark humour, the comedy is in the 'I can't believe they just said that' shock factor of the joke - rather than the target itself. Also, a lot of Frankie's comedy has satirical and political undertones to it, if you aren't going to bother watching him you wouldn't understand that.

Finally, I'm not going to be lectured about morals by someone who continually mocks people based on their appearance, and for experiencing bereavement. Mine are in a much better state than yours I can assure you. And as for disabled people, I'm pretty sure you recently made a comment that a disabled participant on Strictly Come Dancing was only progressing on the 'pity vote', so

No I dont, but I know the difference between right and wrong and to take the piss out of a severely disabled child is NOT and never should be called comedy ,if you have to sink to these levels you shouldn't be walking the earth ,saying someone is after the pity vote and saying a disabled childs Mam had to marry a cage fighter to stop the child raping his Mam is totally different

Was Frankie Boyle the ginger bloke who said Harvey Price rapes his mum?

In December 2010, both Katie Price and Peter Andre were said to have been left "absolutely disgusted and sickened" by a joke in the 7 December 2010 broadcast about Price's disabled son, Harvey (then 8 years old). On the show, Boyle said: "Apparently Jordan [Katie Price] and Peter Andre are fightin' each other over custody of Harvey - well eventually one of them'll lose and have to keep him. I have a theory that Jordan married a cage fighter cause she needed someone strong enough to stop Harvey from ****in' her." [17]

In a response, Katie Price said: "Harvey Price is a little miracle. Every day he overcomes so many difficulties with the help of family and medical experts and has so many tiny battles to win due to his medical problems and autism. I love him and am deeply proud to be his mother. If Mr Boyle had a tenth of his courage and decency he would know that to suggest, let alone think funny, that Harvey may sexually attack me is vile and deeply unfair. Mr Boyle clearly has serious issues and those that give him a TV platform to say such disgusting things need to look at themselves very honestly."[18] Peter Andre's representative also responded to the comments made by Boyle and said "We're all disgusted by these comments. Peter is angry and very upset at Harvey being mocked in this way. Children, especially a disabled youngster, should be off-limits." Both have confirmed that they are seeking legal action and have written a complaint to Channel 4 regarding Boyle's jokes with Katie saying "To bully this unbelievably brave child is despicable; to broadcast it is to show a complete and utter lack of judgement. I have asked my lawyers to write to Channel 4."[19][20] The charity Mencap described Boyle's joke as a "disgusting" attack on a disabled child.[21]

In April 2011 Ofcom upheld 500 complaints about the incident and censured Boyle and Channel 4 for broadcasting the jokes, which had been personally cleared by Channel 4's Chief Executive David Abraham, ruling that the material appeared to directly target and mock the mental and physical disabilities of a known eight-year-old child who had not himself chosen to be in the public eye. "As such, Ofcom found that the comments had considerable potential to be highly offensive to the audience."[22][23]

Racism[edit]
In a later episode, Boyle was criticised by some media outlets for using racially offensive terms. A character played by Boyle used the term '*****' during a joke criticising prioritisation of British and western war casualties over others in UK news media.[24][25]

In July 2011, the Daily Mirror published an article which strongly criticised Boyle, describing him as a 'racist comedian'. In response, he sued the Mirror for libel, and was awarded more than £54,000 damages after a High Court jury found he had been libelled. He donated the money to charity.[26]

If you know the difference between right and wrong, why do continually mock people for the way they look, make nasty comments about bereaved people you've never met and disparaging ones about the parental qualities of people on television shows, or express borderline or outright racist, homophobic and transphobic views? That doesn't make sense.

Again, I'll explain in simple terms - the humour of dark comedy comes not in the 'HAHA he insulted that disabled kid', it's in the shock factor of 'I can't believe he just said that'. Hence why most laughs at one of his (or other comedians of his ilk) gigs are preceded by 'oooohs'. Also, the joke in question was not actually about Harvey, but about Katie Price parading her children around in the public eye. He's explained this on several occasions.

The difference between you and I Chuff is that in the ~real world~ I don't make or agree with genuinely disparaging and nasty comments that have malicious intentions towards real people. Jokes are just that - jokes. They are not serious comments, the people making them or laughing at them aren't being serious, they are flippant and nothing else. Faux outrage over a comedian making jokes but having no issue with racially insensitive remarks makes no sense. Your priorities and morals are completely misplaced.

Finally, you've said in this thread you like Chubby Brown, a comedian whose material is largely rooted in racial material. Now I have no issue with this, a joke is a joke, but you can't be outraged over one topic and not the other. What is it, homophobia, racism and transphobia are fine but leave the poor disabled alone? Ridiculous and patronising.

Faux outrage over a comedian making jokes but having no issue with racially insensitive remarks makes no sense. Your priorities and morals are completely misplaced.

Finally, you've said in this thread you like Chubby Brown, a comedian whose material is largely rooted in racial material. Now I have no issue with this, a joke is a joke, but you can't be outraged over one topic and not the other. What is it, homophobia, racism and transphobia are fine but leave the poor disabled alone? Ridiculous and patronising.

Isn't the difference here that Chuff comments on people who put themselves in the public eye do they must expect some negative as well as positives, their kids are off limits as they don't have a choice?

That doesn't explain the hypocrisy of only opposing PC when it suits her. She's all for racist comedians and spreading venom about but she gets precious over a comedian's routine? A performance is a performance, she can't champion Chubby Brown and then get all 'Helen Lovejoy' over another.

A person can't act offended and then in another thread choose to dish out vile comments about grieving widows or have a suspicious trend of hating most women of colour that appear in Reality TV shows.

Frankie Boyle targeted a specific child that's the difference for me, I have seen no suspicious trend of hating women of colour, and why only women hating? is that a particular ism?

I don't think I have ever seen Chubby Brown so can't comment

Best comedian IMO,is Sir Billy, been crying laughing at him,Kathy Burke makes me laugh too but I like Peter Kay too,surely it's all a matter of opinion,we like who we like it's the same with musicians ,people trying to diss everyone but their faves,it's a big old world room for us all,as for Chubby Brown ,Lee Evans , NOT my cup of tea but wouldn't have a go because someone else likes them,it's all so pointless.

[bots]

i find very few comedians consistently funny. They are all capable of telling a good joke and that's the way i prefer it. I appreciate a good joke whoever tells it.

Utter BS and you know it, I hate arrogance and 99% of non white women who have been in BB or CBB have been arrogant, nasty cows and I will always oppose that

[bots]

heck, on BB i have found that i'm lucky if I like one or 2 of them out of the entire lot, thats the way its always been, and it has nothing to do with gender or anything else. It's that the majority of BB contestants are fame hungry wannabees that are unpleasant to say the least. Its just ridiculous to compare anything on BB with real life.

No, that's not a difference at all. In fact I'd say that's akin to victim blaming. 'Well they volunteered to be on TV so I get to call them a wh*re, say they're ugly, that they are bad parents, that they don't care about being recently bereaved'. Someone being on television does not grant you a carte blanche mandate to be as nasty and misogynistic as you possibly can. They are just people on a screen, it's perfectly possible to dislike somebody on reality TV or in the public eye without sinking to such levels, all that's required is a good moral compass.

The difference here is that Chuff's comments are deliberately and intentionally malicious - she is not joking. Frankie Boyle is a comedian, doing comedy up on a comedy stage. Jokes are not serious remarks that are intentionally malicious, and his particular brand of comedy works on the shock factor of the joke, not what he's said per se. To be outraged over a joke about a disabled person but have no issues making disparaging sexist/racist comments oneself is complete double standards, and shows that one's priorities are totally misplaced. Also, to decry that racially insensitive costumes are 'just a bit of fun!!!!' and any criticism is 'PC gone mad' but to then have an issue with a comedian's jokes which is precisely the same thing, is all kinds of absurd.

Morals or lack of them Cherie !!

For the third time in this thread, the only person with a lack of morals is the one who finds pleasure in mocking the appearance of people they've never met, and going so low as to criticise the recently bereaved. That's the very definition of morally bereft. But keep trying!

yet you are happy for Frankie to do this on TV where it will highly likely the family of the child in question will see it, but get outraged by Chuff making (a lot of the time) tongue in cheek comments on a BB forum that are highly unlikely to be seen by any of the people involved, bizarre.

Oh the irony,The Xfactor thread is full of it infact it's rife on Tibb,it's only ok when it's your 'buds' doing it its seems.

"Also, to decry that racially insensitive costumes are 'just a bit of fun!!!!"

I mean the umpteen threads we've had recently about such and such costumes being racially insensitive or offensive. I didn't involve myself in them but I actually happen to agree that costumes are pretty much fair game in much the same way that comedy is, that's not to say that some of them aren't littered with casual racism because they are, but a joke is a joke so I can let it slide. What makes no sense is thinking that dressing up is 'a bit or fun' and that casual racism is fine, but a comedian telling jokes about the poor vulnerable disabled? Vile! Give me a break, they're one and the same. Either you oppose discrimination and isms of all forms or you think there are no boundaries in comedy, pick a side and stick to it - anything else is pure hypocrisy.

Allowing racism/homophobia/transphobia to slide and brushing it off as 'PC gone mad' but making out the disabled must be protected at all costs is all kinds of patronising. There are many disabled people, Stephen Hawking included, who have no problem being used as the butt of dark humoured jokes.

yet you are happy for Frankie to do this on TV where it will highly likely the family of the child in question will see it, but get outraged by Chuff making (a lot of the time) tongue in cheek comments on a BB forum that are highly unlikely to be seen by any of the people involved, bizarre.

How many times do I need to repeat this? Frankie Boyle is a comedian. He tells jokes. Jokes are not serious comments. Jokes are not intentionally malicious. The humour is in the shock factor of the joke, not the target itself. Chuff makes serious and intentionally malicious comments about contestants on reality shows. Chuff is not joking the large majority of the time. There's a difference, Cherie, I shouldn't have to keep explaining it.

Calling women wh*res and mocking the bereaved, and thinking a bit of casual racism in a costume is all fine and dandy cause 'it's a laugh' and 'it's PC gone mad' but then having a problem with a comedian making jokes about the disabled is both riddled with hypocrisy and also pretty patronising too.

We've done this before Kazanne. I tend not to read the X Factor discussion threads, just post a few thoughts of my own and vacate. As I've said previously, if you have examples of these comments, please post them and I'll happily criticise them - I am not inconsistent unlike a large number of people on this forum. Also, who are these so-called 'buds'? I didn't even know I had any, I'm hardly that ingrained a member on here anymore :conf:
