Lee Hurst getting owned on Twitter [as da kidz say]

[The Lurker]

Interesting reply from Hurst considering, not too long ago, he stated he doesn't read his Twitter replies...

I remember reading on his Wikipedia page about the time he smashed an audience members phone at a gig in Guildford which I was curious about as I lived in the town for a while. When I looked it up, it was literally in the Stoke Pub that was on the same street I lived on. Amazingly there was no sign of a blue plaque remembering the time Hurst played this modest venue.

ankylosing spondylitis?

Bad back you mean. He wants to do some star jumps, that'll sort it.

Soros invented it to stop Brexit.

Wonder how you even make any money when you're a former C-list comedian who has gone down dramatically in popularity from there.. can prob play to like.. 50 people X £10 a ticket in a night based on vague memory of your name from being on TV? But the cost of driving round the countries going to kill your tiny profit margin. No one's hiring you to write for their TV show. Prob hoping for a column on spiked as their comedy correspondent at this point.

When I lived round the corner from his comedy club, it seemed that the Salsa Nights were the main moneyspinner. No wonder he's a 'covid is a hoax' proponent (other than obviously getting all his reactionary opinions from a big template marked 'annoying yet predictable Twitter cunt')

I find Twitter comedians (as in, people primarily famous for doing FUNNIES and SATIRES) on Twitter needy and tedious at the best of times, has he been unfamous now for long enough to count as one of them?

[Gurke and Hare]

Oh wow youre nearly in the vauxhall conference of twitter comedians now. Keep it up lee

It's taken him 800 followers clear of Rory McGrath anyway. Up to a quarter of David Gower's followers, and nearly a thousandth of Gary Lineker. Nick Hancock doesn't seem to be on Twitter. The engagement levels on those shit jokesposted above are tragic though.

Re the medical charities thing, he was definitely a "left wing comedian" back in the days of TTIAO. I don't know where this turn came from. Bitterness at not getting booked ever for being shit I guess.

7k now, that sweet, sweet bump is gonna feel good - this is his moment.

he's got like 10k less followers than me and i've never even been on the tv

[neveragain]

One of his Tweets seemed to suggest that everyone who believes that Covid is dangerous is also a dyed-in-the-wool Boris supporter. Baffling delusion.

[Tapiocahead]

What an outrage. Fancy accusing David Gower of being in Leicester of all places.




_{^{I certainly read it.}}

I've resurrected my account simply to point out that David Gower played county cricket for Leicestershire for about 14 years

[Jumblegraws]

Hurst has gone very quiet since that woodwork side-splitter.

at least rory has a blue tick. And he went to prison for ten weeks!

So does Lee!

And David Gower once jumped the queue in front of my sister in a greengrocer's on Queens Road, Leicester.





_{^{She said it's possible he didn't see her though, but hopefully you didn't read this bit.}}

Oh he saw her alright. As a Leicestershire resident of many years, I've heard several tales of his arrogant twattishness.  I always thought his blonde, curly locks would look better with a streak of claret running through it.

Yeah, I reckon my sister was being generous. Stoneygate ponce!
