Brad Oakes completely lost the plot at my uni once.
Wanted to take on half the crowd at one stage.
Dave Hughes and Greg Fleet then refused to do their routines until the crowd, which comprised solely of uni students, showed them 'more respect.'
Well, if they were funny in the first place, the crowd wouldn't have ignored their routines to chat amongst themselves.
Rule #3 of Stand Up Comedy - NEVER do Uni gigs!!!!(Unless you are getting paid shitloads and never have to go back there again!)
Had Justin Hamilton, Michael Chamberlin, Charlie Pickering and Tom Gleeson at out uni earlier this year. Funniest stuff Ive ever seen. Gleeson was asking people in the audience where they were from and then spent the next few minutes bagging that town. Except for Pt Pirie, where the conversation was something like:
Gleeson: "Where are you from"
Girl: "Port Pirie"
Gleeson: "Um yeah, good luck with that
guess you had to be there...
