    Is it just me, or is that woman about as funny as a burning orphanage?

    It typifies *everything* about the SE London/Essex genre of "Council House"
    slappers.
    she's very well spoken in real life apparently.

    As are many performers outside their chosen act.


    Burning Orphanage?
    Hmmmmmmmm

    Good idea

    It's watchable after a lot of alcihole but other than that I'm with you.

    It is not just you.

    She is plainly ripping off other comedians ("Little Britain" in large
    part) and doing so very unsuccessfully.

    I'd actually say she probably owed more to The Fast Show (and to a lesser
    extent, Harry Enfield), than Little Britain who, if she's ripping off other
    comedians, the so are they, when viewed next to these two examples.

    The point is, I'd not say either of them were 'ripping' anyone off - they're
    merely using a similar format to their predecessors.

    I caught summat on the tele last night on which the two chaps who do
    Little Britain were being interviewed. They actually said they owed a
    lot of their show to Harry Enfield and The Fast Show.

    I disagree. There's "inspired by" and there's "Copying". She copies.

    I feel the same about Little Britain and The Fast Show.

    Well, she seems to think she's funny, so I guess it's not just you.
