Brigstocke would have made a fabulous 17th century witchfinder general. Conformist peacock.

Arable Land, June 2009

I think he's great, and the Pacman joke is still one of the best I've heard

Simon, June 2009

What he does isn't really comedy. It's more of a rant and he comes across as bigoted and dislikable. The comedy shows he's done on tv have been awful.

ns, September 2008

Ha ha, oh do shut up you morons, what on earth are you talking about? He's a fabulous comic and that's all there is to it. Piss off back to Jongleurs and your chicken-in-a-basket comedy experience if you don't like having to think occasionally.

Alaric Dynevor, August 2008

As funny as a memorial fly past by the Luftwaffe over Stepney.

Smug prick

james adams, August 2008

Brigstocke is the kind of bore you find yourself next to at a dinner party, smug, opinionated, conformist bilge delivered in a bullying head-boy knows best manner. Teeth grindingly PC attitudes that reveal the total lack of a single creative or independent thought in the man's head. and he makes a fortune from it! Genius!

Darcus Braggstock, August 2008

Marcus Brigstocke should realise that humour based on ageism is cruel and simply not funny. Especially at this time, when one of the most heroic generations this country has ever seen, having experienced WWII and all that that entailed in social and personal trauma, are reaching their twilight years. Let's hope he lives to a ripe old age to suffer some of the indignities that he thinks are a proper subject of comedy. Humour based on ageism, is no different whatsoever from humour based on physical disability, as ageing is simply that - an accumulation of physical disabilities in even the previously fit and healthy.
