The Richard Blackwood school of comedy:

1. Flex new biceps

2. Take the **** out of white people dancing (circa eddie murphy 1981)

3. Put on Jamican accent and talk about momma's rice and peas and ting


funny

Richard Blackwood is the future of British comedy. Surely you have to respect him for using stereotypes to progress his act? That takes courage, the kind of courage you need if you are to be truly entertaining and funny.

You might also like to check out his musical output, he's a very accomplished recording artist with a number of chart hit singles.

If he was white, people would be proclaiming him the new Eminem mixed with Tommy Cooper.

I wish. That guy is getting paid mad money for doing those adverts. Anyone who doesn't recognise his comedy talent is either jealous or stupid, or both.

Have you see the guy doing his Channel 4 show? Best stand-up comedian in the UK, and young, black and gifted with it.

And how can people critisise his accent? He's black isn't he? And, if you took the time to read his website, you'd know that rice and peas are his favourite meal. What's wrong with that?

Talent and Blackwood, now theres two words i never thought id see together.

Theres nowt wrong with rice and peas being his favourite meal, who said there was. Yes i have seen his Channel 4 show, how that ever got commisioned ill never know. Hes not funny not talented. His 'celebrity' status now allows him to be with Dean Gaffney and Sam Fox on the Club. On a slippery slope now, and he will hopefully dissapear from our screens for evermore.
