GUEST,Bonzo Bonzo & Dorris Why Funny? (34) RE: Bonzo & Dorris Why Funny? 23 Sep 06


We are touched; a lot of people tell us this. The Great Bonzo and Doris is a beast with a mind of it's own. We feed it stuff for people to look at and it's up to them to decide if its comedy. We know the contents a load of rubbish because that's what we do. This doesn't make us feel any better just before a show, sick as a dog comes to mind! will it be this time they don't laugh?
John Cleese said that good comedy comes with a bit of risk and must involve some cringe factor for it to produce the belly laugh, which will, inevitably leave some people behind cringing and not laughing, but the ones that go with it really hurt at the end of a show. One time we had a young lady hitting her companion telling him to stop laughing because she didn't think it was funny, but the more she hit him the more he laughed!
As for the question do B and D belong at folk festivals? Well, do grownup men dressed up in woman's clothing and beating each other with sticks and pigs bladders and waving hankies belong at folk festivals? Anyway enough about Dick Dixon. It doesn't hurt to break up the serious stuff with a little light relief.   
By the way Keith Donnely didn't ask to come into this string, I think he is a genius and his serious stuff is fantastic I wish he would do more
