Wow - Alexei Sayle is a tosser!

Who’d have thought it?

I never really ‘got’ Alexei’s brand of comedy. I think I was 3 years to young to really enjoy the Young Ones, and his stand up just seemed angry. I always assumed that he’d be a fairly nice bloke - left wing, funny, mellowing with age etc.

However, I have just watched “Mark Lawson Talks to…” - an hour long interview program you watch as a last resort, because, despite a million other channels, it’s the only program that may be watchable. Alexei Sayle spent most of the time telling Lawson how original he is and what shit, fame grabbing, artistically bankrupt people Ben Elton, Reeves & Mortimer, Fry & Laurie and a host of others are.

I felt the whole interview was extremely uncomfortable. Sayle came across as a bitter, jealous man who hasn’t even the good grace to shut up about how disappointed he is that he isn’t as successful as Ben Elton.

What a cock.
