I saw that too, from 1984 … he already was looking ropey, and the hideous highlights didn’t help!I saw David Cassidy last night on an old TOTP singing 'Last Kiss' ... his lip synching was super creepy. I think he was trying to be seductive.

Also, the line up for Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off this year is immense!
I'm ridiculously excited for this - I adore them both.

Remember when Jason Orange went out with Catherine Tate, that was an odd pairing.
Didn't Sam Fox accuse him of being a sex pest?I saw this too and the other half commented the exact same
Immense? Well OK. Gemma Collins is on it .
Well, we can only hope she chokes on a croissantImmense? Well OK. Gemma Collins is on it .
I know I’m reacting exactly as intended, but I do enjoy GC’s reality show crapness.
I enjoy hating her. It's sad but true. Her voice makes something inside me curl up and die. I will however watch her Bake Off as I adore the programme and I hope Prue or Paul tell her to duck off back to selling cars
I’ve mentioned this before too. My husband got tickets for us to see James Acaster a good few years ago. When it started JA said welcome to my book reading. I was not happy with the husband as I thought it would be stand up. A book reading is not something I’d ever think of buying tickets to go to. Anyway, how wrong I was, it was one of the funnier gigs I’ve been to.
Next time he came to town we got tickets. This time it was stand up. JA did his own warm up. A few minutes in a drunk guy at the back, stood up, said “this is pish” and walked out. It must happen to comedians up and down the country every night. It didn’t seem like a big deal as the rest of the sold out audience seemed to be enjoying the beginning of the show.
James could not recover from it. The rest of the warm up he kept mentioning the drunk guy. He said this isn’t my warm up. When he came back on he couldn’t do his main routine as he kept going back to the drunk guy. The audience were still positive though and laughing at the jokes he did tell, but the whole act was off. Finally he said “I hate Aberdeen, I’m never coming back!” and just walked off stage about 45 mins before time.
I go to loads and loads of comedy and it was one of the weirdest nights.

James Acaster looks so like Woody from Toy Story - I can’t unsee it now! 
This makes me sad. For you, not James. He's a fabulous stand up and should not be shook like that. Was it the Cold Lasagne tour? No excuse as you were a paid fan, but I know his head was fucked up then and he quit stand up soon after. He's back now, but very limited.
Plus, who can recover when your missus leaves you for Mr. Bean

Omg, he does!!James Acaster looks so like Woody from Toy Story - I can’t unsee it now!
Oh I wasn’t sad. As I said I go to loads of comedy and get entertained by the bad ones too! Even if I was to say I wouldn’t go see him again (I would) I doubt he’ll be back in town.
You’d think a professional comedian would not bat an eyelid at a sole audience member walking out.

Who would you say was your favourite gig? I adore stand up so I'm very interested!
For me, Peter Kay was the best and I don't think I'll ever see a better live performance. Also, Frankie Boyle, Sarah Millican and Alan Carr.
My most disappointing: John Bishop.

Sorry to quote myself, but I need to add Paul Chawdhry and Jo Brand

I went to a gig on John Bishop’s first tour (hadn’t heard of him back then) and it was brilliant. I’ve not found him even remotely funny since that night!
My favourites are Dylan Moran (usually, his last gig I saw wasn’t his best), Ed Byrne, David O’Docherty, who is so funny live. I nearly hurt myself laughing each time I see him. Tom Stade is less famous but excellent. Kevin Bridges in the early days when he did smaller venues was excellent. He’s still funny but I don’t like comedy in arenas. I’ve seen Frankie Boyle more times over the years than I can count and he’s mostly brilliant. I’m seeing him again in a couple of weeks. Katharine Ryan was good live, really funny. Both Carrs, Jimmy and Alan are fantastic too!
Jo Brand was good but no funnier than she is on telly. Usually live acts up their game a bit from their TV work.
I’m not a Peter Kay fan but can see his appeal. I find Michael McIntyre and Susan Millican about as funny as a hole in a lifeboat.
I’ve been lucky enough to see Billy Connolly live 3 times (first time I was only 11!). First twice he was outrageously funny. Last time was in 2006 and so awful I couldn’t believe it. That gig did make me sad as I’d been so looking forward to it. On the same tour that year I heard he was booed off stage…and can completely believe it.

Or cuts her finger "to the bone"!Well, we can only hope she chokes on a croissant
One of the best I went was by some random Irish fella in a London pub in the mid 90s. Said to my pal 'that guy should be on telly'. Couple of years later, he pops up on Channel 4. Graham Norton.
I used to photograph the Edinburgh Fringe most years. I went through an old camera bag, and found the flyer James Acaster gave me during his first show in 2010.

I can't imagine JA and Rose together but they're breakup really broke his heart.
I always enjoy her ability to do nothing on those shows MasterChef she had everyone else cooking, snowman everyone else chiseled & sawed. It's a skill
