Jasper Carrott

[FactualFrank]

Off to watch him tonight in Huddersfield. I don't think I've seen or heard much of him since The Detectives which I thought was hilarious.

Anybody been to see him his stand up?

[Dazzler]

He's on at Burnley mechanics sometime this month with his pal Bev Bevan & band supporting.

[Imploding Turtle]

I loved him when i was a kid. Didn't know about his Mechanics gig, might try to grab a ticket.

[Lord Beamish]

I saw him at the Mechanics a few years back. I too loved him, when I was a kid. He didn’t disappoint.

[edison]

I was expecting to open this and see "is dead".

Golden Balls ..

[FactualFrank]

Golden Balls ..

I remember a lass from Burnley went on there and won the top prize of I think 100k after choosing to steal (the bloke chose to share).

A few months later she was working behind reception in St Peter's leisure centre.

[ŽižkovClaret]

Always used to get him and Phil Cool mixed up

Handling Balls.

[Vino blanco]

Bit of Carrott trivia. He was a major shareholder in the company, which owned the rights to "Who Wants to be a Millionaire": he sold his shareholding for about £10 million.

Handling Balls.

This was it - the total £100,150 and she chose the steal ball.

Also,he turned down the chance to host it before Tarrant was chosen.

[Bosscat]

I loved the story about him and a m8 at Old Trafford and they were in the home end.
Birmingham City scored and his m8 stood up cheering and celebrating. All the Neanderthals around them turned around looking..... So Jasper started punching his mate in the face telling him he was saving his life....

A shame. It would have been a lot more entertaining had he accepted.

[Tricky Trevor]

Brilliant. Saw him many moons back at King Georges.
My fave.
Round at a new girlfriends for the first time and left alone with her mother is struggling for something to say.
The dog is lying in front of the fire licking its balls. Jasper pipes up, “I wish I could do that”.
The mother replies, “ give him a biscuit and he’ll let you”.

One of the funniest stand-up story's I ever saw.
When Brum score and he stood up real quick and said 'yep' with no emotion and sat down just as quick.
The Bovril bit.
The blood on the shirt so he looked like a UTD fan.

Genius.

Edit. I can't find the video, but if you can find it, it's worth a watch, his expressions are brilliant.
Here's the audio though..

Saw him in Kendall a couple of weeks ago.He was fantastic backed by a great band, Bev Bevan (ELO) and members from Wizard ect. One for the oldies i guess.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Have tickets as a Christmas gift for when he comes to the Mechanics.

Which one behind reception?

[Funkydrummer]

We're off to see him at The Mechanics on Saturday 18th May. Having a meal beforehand
in the Bistro which is excellent.

The reviews are outstanding and I think I'm right in saying that Burnley is the only 2 night gig.

The tour is called "Stand Up And Rock" - see link below

[CHEWBACCA]

His twin Brother is a well known ref too !

[Carport]

Saw him with Malcolm Stent at the Boggery in Knowle Solihull before he started on TV. “Oi Carrot , there ain’t no cowin bovril!” Priceless!

[joey13]

Stopped being funny about 30 years

[IanMcL]

I saw him, in a folk club, in my teens! I am 66. He must be ancient!

[FactualFrank]

Which one behind reception?

I've not been there in over 5 years so no doubt she's left. If you view the Youtube link I've posted above, you'll see who she is.

[FactualFrank]

Well I went last night and I thought he was very funny. Sure, the majority were the older crowd, but if you understand his humour it doesn't matter how old you are. I was laughing pretty much the whole way through.

We're off to see him at The Mechanics on Saturday 18th May.

You'll love it. He did 30 minutes and then the band came on. They were on for around 30 minutes and then he did another half an hour before the break. It started at 7.30pm and finished around 10.10pm with a break in between.

We actually had 3rd row seats but due to traffic we arrived 5 minutes in and so had to sit at the back - where we decided to stay as we were first out to the bar at the break and you could see/hear clearly everything anyway.

[houseboy]

I was expecting to open this and see "is dead".

Ditto. Thank goodness we were both wrong - he's excellent.

One of his I love:

I went to meet my new girlfriends parents the other day. We were sat in the living room and their great dane was lying in front of the fire licking his balls. After a while I said nervously 'I wish I could do that'. To which her dad said 'If you give him a treat he might let you'.

It gets funnier every time I hear it

Yes it was funny 30 years ago , as was his Man U story , I bought his first stand up album, which was hilarious, but any new material?

[buzzclarets79]

Just a thank you to the OP for this thread, used to love Jasper Carrot as a kid growing up, never realised he was even on in Burnley but now have second row tickets for the Sunday night....Can't wait....

[Wuggawumphwumph]
