Yes RTE have given her another series and she is back on Tuesday next the 12th of January at 10.50pm

BolBill · 06-01-2010 12:11PM

Shes as funny as cancer tbf.

Professey Chin · 06-01-2010 12:11PM

I haz a sad now

Pretty_Pistol · 06-01-2010 12:21PM

I have to agree with the rest. I find her really irritating. She's like the female version of Pat Shortt.

dlambirl · 06-01-2010 03:06PM

She THINKS she's the female version of Pat Shortt.

Pat Shortt doesn't use the same characters over and over again, and is, alot of the time, funny. Katherine Lynch is not, she's vulgar and annoying.

amacachi · 06-01-2010 03:41PM

For ****sake.

GLUEY · 06-01-2010 05:53PM

Sorry but women comedians are very very rarely funny, and she is no exception. Eww.

Utopia Parkway · 06-01-2010 06:49PM

As if the January blues weren't bad enough.

THEDONWALDO · 06-01-2010 06:50PM

she is the most unfunny alleged comedian i have ever seen

I echo this sentiment.

FFS!
This is 1970's club 'Did you hear about yer wan?' humour...played out and not, I repeat 'not' funny.
Wasn't Twink getting away with doing this s**t back in the seventies/eighties? And she was as funny as a kick in the balls.

Katherine Lynch got 'An audience with'? These were supposed to be celebrity driven like the Billy Connolly, Rod Stewart ones. How after two runs are you waranted comissioning such a platform to such a nobody?
She is only on air due to being related to and being chums with RTE folk, end of.

I fookin' hate RTE and it's blinkered, 'If me and Ronan dig it, so will the whole country' approach. Or worse, 'Let's give Katherine a show, sure Dymphna finds her hilarious. Jaysus!:eek:

06-01-2010 09:25PM

I can't stand her, RTE are scrapping the bottom of the barrel again :rolleyes:

Pat Kenny is more of a comedian than her

Black Magic · 06-01-2010 10:03PM

We'll have to wait a while until we see Maeve Higgins' Fancy Vittles Series 2 so...

Bondvillain · 06-01-2010 10:20PM

Ah for f*cks sake.

Different names does not a different character make

And he isnt funny at all anymore

Sir Gallagher · 10-01-2010 11:21AM

The sad thing is there is actually an audience out there for this shite, so i'm not surprised at all she has a new series, its bargain basement stuff for plebbs with terrible taste.

JP Liz · 12-01-2010 12:46PM

From the advertisement RTE are showing it looks like she tried to bag Ronaldo

My name is URL · 12-01-2010 01:48PM

Surely even the gormless twats at RTE realise that this is utter trash.. why are they subjecting us to such low brow shit?

I hear this sort of think mentioned in regards to lots of RTÉ stars; Tubridy, McSavage etc. I'd really love someone in the know to draw up a family tree or some spider diagram that shows how all these RTÉ are related. It might explain a lot.

Not that I'm accusing RTÉ of nepotism, it's just that it'd be interesting to see how the various producers and "talents" are connected.

I'm sure they know exactly how bad it is; but as long as it keeps getting decent ratings they'll keep pumping it out, regardless of their personal opinions of its quality.

Killinaskully is ****e but Pat Short has been on the go for the guts of 20 years and had at least 10years at the very top. IMHO you cant compare Lynch and Shortt

Wyndman · 12-01-2010 03:57PM

The Andrews thing goes further (they're like our talentless Kennedy family) Todd Andrews, Tubridy and McSavage's grandfather was made head of RTE in the sixties after dismantling the railways for a quick buck.

The head of programming is married to Miriam O'Callagahan.

Lucy Kennedy's dad worked for RTE.

Eddie Doyle (Head of Entertainment, who has commissioned nothing but duds and many from his media friends like John Ryan's This is Nightlive abomination) has five family members employed in the All Ireland Talent Show.

Nepotism is rampant in RTE. I know it exists in all organisations to some extent but these people were useless in the first place, their entitled relatives aren't going to be any better.

As you seem to be in the know, who is she related to in RTE?

+1 Pat is likeable and occasionally very funny.

This one (or at least her characters) are brash, annoying and not even remotely funny enough to extract a 20-second clip that would entice you to watch it.

I change channel when herself or McSavage's promos come on, and the "Bad whatever" promos are just as "change-channel, quick, before that ****e comes on" impulse-triggering.

For a country with so much quick wit and craic, I find it astonishing that this ****e passes for comedy.

stevveyg · 12-01-2010 11:19PM

Cringe, she's so flipping annoying. how can she think her show is watchable let alone funny.

Slideshowbob · 12-01-2010 11:22PM

i really think shes funny

that was class her acosting Ronaldo!

Black Magic · 12-01-2010 11:25PM

I don't think that was really Ronaldo.

Mre like this guy!

podge018 · 12-01-2010 11:25PM

Thought that was very funny. Good to see she's dropped the rubbish D4 character, the other 3 are priceless.

If you don't like it, don't watch it.

4Sheets · 12-01-2010 11:26PM

Well I for think its a great show..very funny indeed...
I dont like kilnascully or I not a cluchie before someone accuses..its the best comedy since IT crowd..
The sketch where she was getting the molehill ladies team to do a nude calendar brilliant..
Apologies If I joined a 'bitch at RTE' Thread..

NormanNicetouch · 13-01-2010 12:24AM

I enjoyed it. Obviously not one for the comedy snobs or snobs of any kind come to that. A bit of harmless craic.
