[Football] Comedians Watching Football With Friends

[Wozza]

New Sky show. Could well be AWFUL.

"Every week, celebrity super fans and comedian regulars will watch the games of the week and react in their own (read: studio) living rooms. Due to Sky’s deal with the Premier League, you actually get to see the games too.

"Regulars on the show, airing on March 6th, include Nish Kumar (Manchester United), Jon Richardson (Leeds United), Lee Mack (Blackburn Rovers) and Josh Widdicombe (Plymouth Arygle) amongst others. Oh and Adrian Chiles. Is he a comedian? Let’s not split hairs, but I’d have to say no."

I’d rather sit and watch a match with Theresa May

 

[B-right-on]

I'd rather watch the paint drying on my lounge wall which I painted 10 years ago.

 

[DavidRyder]

Cheaply produced TV at its finest

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Wot no Johnny Vegas? Normally the litmus test of comedy mediocrity.

Sounds like Fantasy Football with Skinner & Baddiel from year's ago.

I like Josh Widdicombe. Watching him watching a hapless Plymouth could be quite entertaining.

I get that comedy is objective. I can see why people find certain comedians funny even if they aren't my cup of tea (Lee Evans for example). That being said, I cannot fathom how Nish Kumar has made a career from comedy, the man is an unfunny idiot.

My suspicion is that it will, in fact, NOT be entertaining.

You started off strongly and then managed to contradict yourself hugely. Well done

 

[Napper]

sounds better than a Lot of dross that gets pumped out.

Comedians are mostly normal people not to bothered about celebrity status from my experience

Basically Gogglebox.

I like Nish Kumar but regretting buying tickets to see him live now I know that he's a Manchester United supporter. I think he's from Shepherds Bush.

I don't have Sky so will never know how bad it is.

It may well not be, but I'll give it a chance when its Widdicombe's turn. He's quite amusing on Quickly Kevin. They should do Frank Skinner watching West Brom as well, that would have potential.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

My suspicion is that it will, in fact, NOT be entertaining.

My suspicion is that it'll be about as contrived as all past and present and probably future versions of Top Gear, and about as funny as pulling teeth.

Kumar is unfunny, lacking in self awareness and London based. As a representative of Man Utds fan base he's perfect.

Looking forward to John Bishop watching Liverpool and Michael McIntyre watching Chelsea.

Get them drunk before.

i.e Drunk History.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Who would do the Albion? Reckon Romesh Ranganathan, a Crawleyite and genuinely funny guy, might be quite amusing. Especially if he was pre-armed with a flask and a pristine bottle of water. The Barberesque Comedy Gold would occur earlydoors, before he'd even cleared the turnstiles
