ThreeWeeks and Me: Bob Doolally

Bob Doolally’s World Cup Balls

Bob Doolally/ The Stand Comedy Club

This show represents everything I hate about Scotland: alcoholism, misogyny and the dark side of the Beautiful Game. I love football and hoped that the ‘World Cup’ chat of the title would materialise quickly, but was instead made to endure an hour and a half that was, quite frankly, insulting. Doolally has a lax attitude to political correctness, uses the c-word more than is acceptable and when jokes were made about George Best’s second liver I knew he’d gone too far. Meanwhile, women are only mentioned when followed by cheap sexual innuendo, which may be ok in ‘Carry On’ films but is now just tired and offensive. The crowd seemed to like his jokes; I couldn’t find the punch line.

The Stand Comedy Club, 16 Aug, 7.45pm (9.20pm), £9.00 - £10.00, fpp35
