very sad news

[Bagpuss66]

Not my favourite style of comedy I personally prefer the Jerry Sadowitz style , but still a shock.

[elsiegee40]

Yet another to lose the battle with cancer. I am simply gutted! She was one of my favourites

Another great comedian gone from a time when Political Correctness garbage didn't exist, people had backbones and a sense of humour.

What? Victoria Wood was a brilliant comedian who was one of the first funny women to be up there with the men - I don't understand your comment - she wasn't un-PC at all

I think that's his point.

[mthomas08]

I think that's his point.

 

Yep. I loved her comedy, no fear at all.

 

As I said, a different time.

 

In todays world too many comedians are having to tread carefully out of fear of one person whining about it on Twitter.

[witch]

Nope, still don't get it. What on earth did she ever do that in today's world she would had to tread carefully?

I saw her live many times and she wasn't racist, sexist, or any other ist you could ever imagine

[elsiegee40]

I agree she wasn't un-PC.

 

She wasn't afraid to mention taboo subjects, but that's not failing to be politically correct.

Thank you. I thought I was going bonkers then for a minute

You'd better head back to the pond!

[witch]

So...what sort of frog then?

[mikeprice]

So...what sort of frog then?

 

Ahh - thought I had got away with that one

@mikeprice If you wear a frog costume and post a picture here, it might confuse @witch enough not to turn you into one... but you better hop to it...

 

Failing that I hear kissing a Princess breaks the spell...

They're hard cars to find these days. They stopped making them years ago.

I don't think anything is powerful enough to confuse @witch - however my OH is a princess to me - does that count???

[DJ-1701]

It's a bit of a leap, but I think I can jump behind that idea.

Please stick to the punny thread - don't hijack everything ta
