Where’s me washboard?!

The only unfunny part of a brilliant show

The only unfunny part of a brilliant show

Oh booo! I love Arthur Atkinson, a brilliant pastiche of Arthur Askey and his ilk. “I’ve seen you wrapping presents when it’s nobody’s birthday” made even better by Tommy Cockles’ introductions and contempt for him.

Which was nice.

This is of course the correct answer. My wife and I went to "an evening with the Fast Show" in London last year and when they did the whole Tommy Cockles, Arthur Atkinson, Chester Drawers thing we were still wetting ourselves laughing. It was always a genius sketch.

`ere, Madame, I've seen you eating tongue on a mutton day. I said TONGUE ON A MUTTON DAY. hehehehhe

Where’s me SCRAGEND?

I remember watching The Fast Show with my late father, and he used to love the likes of Max Miller (the Cheeky Chappy) et al, and he couldn’t believe how good Paul Whitehouse was. He said something like “the only it’s missing is bursting into song and the audience joining in”. That exact thing happened in his very next sketch.

Just brilliant:

So many brilliant bits in the fast show.
Favourite was "Someone´s sitting there mate"

Least favourite was Swiss Toni and that was still funny.

 

[Lankyseagull]

Went to see the Only Fools and Horses Musical at the Dome last week.

Paul Whitehouse was brilliant as Grandad and also made a cameo appearance as Uncle Albert later in the show.

 

[Man of Harveys]

They’re all great in the Fast Show but Paul Whitehouse is simply one of the greatest comic actors this country has ever produced. He’s on another level of genius.

I very briefly met him and Bob Mortimer when they were signing their fishing book a few years back; they were charming and lovely, I was absolutely tongue-tied in their presence (which for me is a rare event).

It was brilliant, wasn’t it? Dragged myself out of bed for that one to take my elderly Mum who’s a big fan. We’d previously seen it in town with a mostly different cast (except Trigger, Whitehouse and Cassandra/Marlene).

Slight shame the van was cut though, and no idea why unless there’s no space for it backstage.

Really? I thought "Hi, I'm Ed Winchester", and "You ain't seen me, right?" were easily the two worst things. Swiss Toni was great - but then appreciating Swiss Toni is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman ...

I'm with @jcdenton08, Arthur Atkinson and entourage were the funniest thing on the show.

Caroline Ahern's "what did I say, Roy?" character was also quality. Ted and Ralph, Unlucky Alf, the fruit machine know-it-all, the bloke in the pub who's opinion changed with the slightest bit of pressure. Actually it was all absolute quality really.

That reminds me, I bumped into and said hello to Charlie Higson in the bar before Only Fools musical at the Dome. There to see his mate Paul Whitehouse in the show I assume. Told him I loved the Fast Show and he was very gracious and polite.

Pure genius.

At the live show this year John Thompson did Roy next to an empty chair with nothing to say. Heartbreaking. It seems it is filmed. Here's the link. Don't watch if you don't want to cry.

Ted and Ralph were amazing characters. Paul Whitehouse does poignancy incredibly well. These two scenes particularly:
