Scouse Sleeping Beauty at the Royal Court

Thing is while there are fewer scousers who go and watch Liverpool the chances are there will be more Kopites in the crowd, even though most have never been to Anfield, so he is just edging his bets for more laughs

Unfortunately they are a incredibly well run club and the opposite to how we are run. A blue could make jokes about there off the pitch stuff like destroying the city centre, acting like thugs in Madrid, setting fire to Liver buildings etc but that would be seen as poor taste. On the pitch we don't really have anything to laugh at thanks to thr likes of kenwright.

Give it up for the love of god . Nothing to do with your rant at all .

Went to watch this last night (yeah, yeah I know, but I always go as its a bit of a tradition of ours to go see a show over Christmas)

Anyway, seen a few of these shows over the years and every one without fail always includes the unfunny Everton 'joke' and rarely a swipe at Liverpool for balance (last night it was the difficulty of finding our trophy room...ho, ho, hilarious)

So I got to thinking why is this?

The obvious answers are that Everton have given your typical third rate local scriptwriter plenty of material over the years for cheap shots to raise a cheap laugh. Added to that the writers are almost always gloryhunting reds and the majority in the audience will be too then perhaps it's understandable.

But then it dawned on me, when glancing around the room spotting the obvious blues shrugging the 'joke' off in time honoured fashion....can you imagine the absolute uproar there would be if a writer who was a blue aimed a cheap shot at them lot without providing another for balance? Fatwas against the writing team, boycotts of the theatre, no doubt an Echo special Investigation into the heracy on view in the city.

So whilst it's tiresome sitting through these things over and over again, it's not as uncomfortable as it could be if they ever did it to them.

Don't go then. I'd rather have root canal work done while sitting on a bed of nails than watch such hackneyed, clichéd, repetitive nonsense. The only good aspect of these shows is that they give local actors work. Evertonians may shrug their shoulders at the "joke" being us...but that's just cos generally we're not arsed with them.

Imagine being upset at a joke at a panto.

Audience: "It's behind you!"

Just let it go mate. Stuff like this will drive you crackers in the long run if you let it bother you.

Far more important things to worry about

I saw his stand-up act in a pub in the 1980s - he was a poor replacement to the comedian who never turned up.....

 

[Joey66]

Mate to be honest, it's just a joke why are you so arsed?

If it gets a few laughs of the kopites in the audience he's done his/her job.

If he/she starting reeling off wall pushing jokes don't think that would go down well

We can't even blame Ken Dodd who was a red fan ......
