Miranda Hart Comedienne

[brokenflipflop]

I've seen Miranda Hart on TV and now she does some morning slots on radio 2.

Is it me or is she the unfunniest and most boring comedian since... er... Paul O'Grady.

Shockingly poor entertainment.

Humph

must admit her radio 2 shows were worse than sarah kenedy's , so i agree

 

[trustysteed]

bizarre how she ever got a show...what strength of barbiturate was the talent spotter on when he thought he saw any funniness in this woman?

 

[accountantpete]

The Beeb seem to be pushing her way beyond what her talent would appear to warrant.

They mustbe desperate.

I saw one episode of a tv show she had, called Miranda I think. Not exactly funny but it hit the depths when she threatened to ...............''come back on sh*t on the table''

Classy I thought.

therein lies the issue. the bbc and other british channels no longer seem to be able to find people with any genuinely funny talent anymore hence the multitude of awful sitcoms or solo-comedic series such as miranda.

you only have to look at Modern Family to see the class of a good comedy.

I think she benefits from being a woman (no offence to women but it's not as competitive as the male comedy scene)

She's certainly done well considering her lack of talent for sure. She's absolute pants.

And she's a cyclist

I find a lot of her stuff funny but not all. One scene in Miranda actually replicated something that had happened to a friend of mine (the parachute jump - how do you know you aren't pregnant bit), I must get around to asking her if she has seen that scene sometime!!!

She's following in Jo Brands footsteps IMO, she's always been as funny as rabies in a dogs home

Well, she did that relay thing a year or so ago, but does anyone know she's actually ever been on a bike since the camera crew finished their filming

Have you read Jo Brands Autobiography:

Got fat.
Became a comedienne and only use material mocking my weight with occasional sarcasm.
Host Have I got news for you.

Comedy is weird.

I'd rather go for a run than watch John Bishop or Peter Kay (and I loathe running) yet their dvds and books top the charts. I'd say they're unfunny, but countless Britons disagree, evidently.

I like Miranda, personally, although I've not heard this stint on Radio Two, I enjoyed the shows she co-hosted with John Holmes.

Comedy is weird.

Taste is weird. Yours, mine and other peoples. Pretty meaningless statement but so are a lot of opinions.

I wouldn't have expected her to say she would do that on a table and she might have owed me a new keyboard.
