The Stephen K Amos Show

That was crap.



I didn't say that at all. I wondered why he was attracting such venom BEFORE the programme aired. It isn't illegal to be critical of people who aren't white , straight etc but i'm wary of such threaRAB and comments BEFORE we've had a chance to see the programme.
 
I'll give it a chance, but it's strange that they are advertising it in exactly the same way (even the music) as they did for Little Miss Jocelyn ... which was terrible :o
 
I think he's pretty funny as a standup and on panel shows and the like. If this involves sketches then that'll be a different story...
 
He is a di**head IMO.

he constantly finRAB it funny to make comedy out of his own race...HHAHAHAH not.com.....

I hate all minority acts that think its funny to take the pee out of their own kind, its one rule for them and one rule for the rest of the country.

Equality is what people wanted.
 
Awful.

How on earth did this guy manage to convince the BBC to give him his own show? Surely his comedy-free appearances on Mock The Week and other entertainment shows should have prevented this from ever happening.

Awful.
 
oh this is just the BBC being the BBC -

the BBC craves that we share its obsession with multiculturalism - so it creates various so called 'comedy' series as a vehicle for certain minority acts it favours

they are usually awful because the BBC simply puts the fact someone is from a favoured ethnic minority before the idea that they should be funny.

they struggle on for one or two series until it is obvious to even the most ardent BBC type that no one likes the series and it is quietly cancelled.

but do the BBC learn. oh no. because they just try again with a new favoured person just to repeat the whole process all over again.:yawn:
 
Agreed. I used to enjoy his stuff a few years back, before he became a household name, but then it's just the same old thing since then and it really is like the old Lenny Henry show, and there's a reason I stopped watching that.
 
You forgot the "struggled heroically" bit. A bit like trying to survive 45 minutes of conversation with a Kimodo Dragon, but without a nosepeg.


Ah that would be a so-called comedian recounting the tribulations of being right-on and looking like an albino chimp at school in the deep south (i.e. Somerset). Where's the KKK when you actually need them?
 
I saw a routine he did at, I think it was a screening of a Royal Variety Performence...and that was pretty much it.

Watching his act made me feel like I'd time travelled to 1983. HIs humour is about thirty years out of date. Is he attempting to be a modern day, watered down Richard Pryor? Because it isn't working.
