To wonder why famous people feel they have to over share personal stuff

I can’t believe some people haven’t heard of her. She’s been on loads of things and even if you don’t watch those programmes you see clips of them.

FannyCornforth I used to quite like Jo Brand, but I didn’t go out of my way to watch everything that she was in on TV. However, I can’t watch her at all now, ever since that awful comment she made which I think was about Boris Johnson, saying why didn’t someone throw acid at him. It really made my stomach turn when you think of what’s happened to many women by evil men, and all the trauma that ensues.

I can’t stand her myself, I have never found anything she has said remotely funny and what she does say is in bad taste.

Not sure that she was over sharing..simply a joke that many of us may feel was distasteful and many of us would roar with laughter at.
I think the problem with celebrities is that often we forget they are just people and sometimes in interviews they just get comfortable enough to chat as they would amongst their own friends and we all know people who cross our comfort zone with sharing some of their experiences but in these situations we can say Nooo. Tooo much! Just as I suppose we can turn a tv or radio off if we hear things we don't wish to listen to.

Re Jo Brand. My friend and I went to see her around 1992. (Over 3O years ago! )
She was absolutely dreadful.
We walked out after 30 minutes and went to Pizza Hut.
I’m sure that she would have approved!

I loved her series Getting On.
That was brilliant

Who was that really funny woman comedian who passed over
She wore specs & was clumsy
But so endearingly funny

What do you mean "trying to be a man with vile jokes? I dont understand. You mean misogynistic ones?

No any woman that is trying to be a man with vile jokes ain’t funny to me more cringe worthy and remote turn over lol

I agree, apart from Jo Brand (but yes, sometimes).

There is something about Katherine Ryan I find extremely off putting but I've rarely seen her, mainly on HIGNFY.

HowVeryDareYou Not one woman you find funny? Which men do you find funny then?

I am not a fan of Kathryn Ryan or her kind of humour, which is often quite crude and cold. I don't consider myself to be overly prudish and can enjoy edgy humour if it is not done just for effect - which I believe a lot of it is. Billy Connolly could be quite outrageous at times but the context always made it feel natural and funny - to me anyway.

In my opinion, Victoria Wood, Julie Waters, June Whitfield, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, Sara Pascoe and Jo Brand (to name but a a few) are/were funny.

I would love a good pearl necklace. No vulgarity implied.

I have my Grandmas, I have had to have it restrung, my mum brought me pearl stud earrings for my 40th, I often wear them.

I can’t stand Jonathan Ross or Sarah Millican and I have no idea who KR is. I don’t think I’m missing anything.

I wear pearl studs most days and I have some lovely pearl necklaces but I never feel the need to clutch them. I bought my DiL a lovely pair of pearl studs for her 40th, and I have seen her wear them, she’s not superstitious.

I like or used to like,

Dawn French,
Jennifer Saunders.
Caroline Ahern
Catherine Tate
Frankie Howard

Its nothing to do with oversharing, just a joke. I think she’s just playing to her audience, which isn’t the sort of people who find her comments offensive. If you don’t find somebody funny don’t watch is my motto. I turn Jimmy Carr off the minute he comes on TV.

Many years ago when I laughed at Billy Connolly until my sides ached, I realised that some of his jokes were both vulgar and included the 'f' word, but nonetheless tickled me. However, it was only 'some' of his jokes and many others were clever uses of spontaneous wit. Unfortunately with the vast majority of 'modern' comedians, there's an over-reliance on the 'f' word to get laughs - why? and also unfortunately, Sarah Millican in particular over-uses this which places her in the category of untalented, at least for me. I do believe that we don't have to watch TV and we have the power to switch off which is why the Jonathan Ross show gets that treatment together with other so-called 'funny' but very unfunny shows. I do miss Ronnie Barker and of course, Victoria Wood!

The woman is a comedian.

It’s meant to be a Joke.
Although a very crude one.

I don’t consider it to be oversharing.
Surely no one has taken this seriously.

The best humour comes when mixed with pathos. When you consider her crude joke, the fact that her husband was alleged to prefer the 18 holes of the golf course to her loveliness is where the humour lies. The way she told it had no light and shade so wasn’t funny.

It’s just a rather glib, throwaway gag.
It’s actually quite old fashioned in its gender stereotypes and word play.
Of course it’s not true!
Mr Ryan doesn’t really compare the missus’ anatomy to his hobby of choice 🤦‍♀️

I’ve never heard of her but I’ve never liked crude comedy, I don’t find it funny and on the subject of over sharing did anyone want or need to know about Prince Harry loosing his virginity or that he had been circumcised

I have a pearl necklace. Love it! And you can clutch them if you like. Even if they break you'll only have one of them rolling away - they'll be individually knotted.

Who's Katherine Ryan?

KR makes a very good living from her comedy - her stand-up shows regularly sell out - so clearly not everyone finds her loud and unfunny. Isn't it a good job we don't all like the same things?

I know of Katherine Ryan. Never enjoyed her humour (her voice grates on me anyway) and she always has a view on everything and her view is always the riht one at least according to her.

I laughed at that but then I like the comedian and her humour

I detest both Katherine Ryan and Jonathan Ross. He is a nasty piece of work, and she is just crude and unfunny. I wish it could go back to the old comedy like "Fools and Horses", "Birds Of A Feather", "Keeping Up Appearances." The woman in there WERE funny.

volver There's always the exception that proves the rule!!

Have you noticed that GOOD comedians often win quizzes?

Here's Kathryn Ryan winning a quiz.
