I think he was genuinely trying to encourage her to step outside her comfort zone and thought she'd be good at stand-up (which he says she was) but that she didn't really enjoy it at all. I get the impression that he does regret encouraging her into it.Wtf? Are they still together? Did he say this or did she? These women have such strange, disrespectful relationships.
ugh who even is this dude? Bebe has been in a West End play and highly rated TV shows and movies, what has horatio done? Super disrespectful of him to talk about her like this (i assume on his podcast?)Wtf? Are they still together? Did he say this or did she? These women have such strange, disrespectful relationships.
yeah the consensus was that she was good but she just didn't enjoy itI thought she did incredibly well at stand up , tbf she kind of carried Alfie in their joint show - way more laughs from the crowd than he got !
oooo the entitlement of the rich white straight manugh who even is this dude? Bebe has been in a West End play and highly rated TV shows and movies, what has horatio done? Super disrespectful of him to talk about her like this (i assume on his podcast?)
alfie did the exact same to jessie when they did that 'roast' lolapparently horatio 'forced' bebe into doing stand-up and she didn't enjoy it and has since quit, he said she didn't bomb she just couldn't cope with doing kinda average and he was concerned that she wouldn't have been able to cope with actually bombing, also the whole experience was awful for her and he thinks acting is 'easier' / much cushy than stand-up
Maybe it was from a supportive enough place but it’s not great to say acting is easier -Horatio wouldn’t be an authority on either discipline.Am I missing something? I dont see anything wrong with what Horatio saidLike he said she was good but didn't enjoy it. The acting being 'easier' is a bit douchey but probably right tbf
I think he meant it like more cushy, with acting they might send you a car, you get hair and make-up and generally treated well whereas with stand-up you're in dingy back rooms of pubs and it's not particularly glamorous. He did also go on to make a comparison between the kinds of people who do acting and the kinds of people who do comedy (his friends and bebe's actor friends) but didn't explicitly say anything specificAm I missing something? I dont see anything wrong with what Horatio saidLike he said she was good but didn't enjoy it. The acting being 'easier' is a bit douchey but probably right tbf
That’s because you actually have to be a likeable person and not alienate your audience to be successful in stand up comedy. Hence why Alfie has never and will never make it into the big leagues. He’s probably only still got any semblance of a career because of the association with Jessie and exposure she gives him. I honestly don’t think he’d still be with her otherwise, and he’s still managed to manipulate some sort of “deal” out of her whereby he doesn’t have to fully commit. You can see it in their body language and interactions how much she worships him and how disinterested he is by comparison. It makes me sad for her but even more sorry for those poor children. They are always the real victims of any kind of dysfunctional relationship.I thought she did incredibly well at stand up , tbf she kind of carried Alfie in their joint show - way more laughs from the crowd than he got !
This plus don’t forget having a mother who was in the incredibly successful “Dead Ringers” may also be helping keep his “career” afloat.

I think he fancies himself as more of a Stewart LeeThat’s because you actually have to be a likeable person and not alienate your audience to be successful in stand up comedy. Hence why Alfie has never and will never make it into the big
He could never. Lee doesn’t use his family for material for a start but also isn’t just shite.I think he fancies himself as more of a Stewart Lee
Oh god I’ve started something hereHe could never. Lee doesn’t use his family for material for a start but also isn’t just shite.
Ooh look, we need a new thread title! I think we need to incorporate @amsh ‘s Poundland Russel Brand
remember alfie edits her pod for her too“I felt very strongly that they should have his surname to add another incentive for Alfie not to leave us.” She then tried to play this off as a joke, but instantly backtracked and literally said “it is also very true and I think has worked.” Seriously… what?!
This is a v good analysis it just is still a mystery to me because I had a pretty traumatic birth too but to be honest I don’t think about it that much. It’s just one of those things it was no ones fault really a bit like Jessie’s it jsut did happen the way I would have liked but the day to day being a mum has always superseded that. I don’t get why the birth takes on so much significance …. Certainly didn’t make me want to do it again anytime soon ! Very odd.jessie seems really reflective in the latest ep, she talks about having the children one after another so she'd always be needed and having becker to 'reclaim' tenn's birth, also that she probably won't have more children although she's 'grieving' the idea of never having a newborn again. I think maybe the realities of having 4 are hitting her (and her mum probably!) She keeps talking about having a 'second chance'?? at what? I think she wants to somehow perfect 'having a baby'.
It's So frustrating to see Alfie, who gives so many red flags as basically a classic charming abuser, having this new found career progression and tv deals and awards. The guy lives the easiest life possible and no one mentions it on main, I got a steer over here - what a relief to find people calling this out...That’s because you actually have to be a likeable person and not alienate your audience to be successful in stand up comedy.
