Good grief - how've we missed doing a thread on him? Top feller - sent me a cracking email and some signed photos... plus he did a 'forward' for the local branch of the Alzheimer's Society I'm involved with - free of charge! Anyhow... his material's cracking (and also often recycled - "Guard Dogs Operate Here" joke? Jimmy were on of the first with that!) - none of it has expletives and is all 'family friendly' - and although I like my 'blue' stuff it's all good material. Recently I picked up a 'Live' vid. of his - absolutely top... plus he does some good stuff with 'props' too - like what? Example. (Corny this) He has a suitcase with his props in. Pulls a pillow out, puts it under yon thing. "I rest my case!" he says. Corny but great I reckon - my sort of material! Anyhow - that's my two pennorth on the fellow!  N. |

Not seen or heard of any JC for years.
I'll have to listen that C.D. now and come back with some quotes....
As for the 'props' gags. I love anything daft like that.
It's something Joe Pasquale does a lot of in his act.

One of my favourites off the 'unofficial' DVD... I had to go to the hospital the other day.
I'd chopped off all my fingers.
When I got there, the nurse said "You should've brought the fingers here, we could've sewn them back on..."
I said "I couldn't pick them up!" ;D  |
