Toxic? I wonder if that was the feeling from the other acts or from the crew? I’ve met one or two of the regulars on the show and had a few drinks with one (Ed Byrne) and can’t imagine him or any of them being toxic.

As an aside, Frankie Boyle is nothing like his stage act and a bit of a posh lovie in real life.

It was near the start and iirc her interview she said was it was incredibly tense as it was a lot of men trying to one up each other jokes-wise and it was difficult to break in and feel comfortable as a guest and even harder when you’re a woman.

i can’t find the interview so it may have been a different comic
 
I used to like Frankie Boyle until he became as another poster said, a posh lovie. As much as I enjoy Kevin Bridges and think his jokes are relatable, I thought his latest show was quite lazy and predictable, and he was only on stage about 40 minutes. Tickets were a fortune as well.

I think inq lot of situations being in a very male atmosphere can be toxic, it becomes a"lad culture " atmosphere regardless of the individuals themselves
 
Julian Clery
Jerry Sadowitz (because of the racism and misogyny,not the flashing )
Shazia Mirza
All of Mrs Browns boys cast
Miranda Hart
John Hastings
Iain Stirling
Dave Chappelle
Eddie Izzard
Jen Ives
Graham Lineham - tbh it’s not so much that I don’t think he’s funny, more that he’s not a particularly nice person

Frankie’s always been a posh lovie, the stage persona is an act. It just slips in more these days.

I saw Kevin Bridges lately and I think he was on longer than 40 mins. We were invited guests to a box so the whole thing was free to us. I wouldn’t go to sit anywhere other than at the front of an arena to see a comedian if I was paying. I saw him live at the start of his career in a smallish venue and to me that was the best.
 
Mostly ones that have been said. But a few I can’t stand, as in a have to change channels
Frankie Boyle
James Corden
James Acaster
Joe Lycett
Adam Hills
Hannah Gadsby
Russell Howard (early stuff was good tho)
I went to see Lenny Henry in the early 90s. He had me in tears he was so funny. But now he’s as funny as a fart in a spacesuit
