Comedian and former panellist on the comedy sports TV show They Think Its All Over has hit out at Mock The Week and other television shows that apparently show the jokes and banter is improvised. He claims that producers have writers providing the comedians material, which to be fair most of us would have already suspected on TV shows like Mock The Week.
Lee Hurst Mock The Week
Lee Hurst said “Once you do that, you’re not a stand-up, you’re an actor. TV pursues comedians who have no morals whatsoever. They’ll steal, they’ll lie, they’ll stab you in the back.” I think he has some anger issues? He apparently also said the stars on Mock The Week don’t really like each other which could be a reason for Frankie Boyle leaving the show? Who knows! Or Maybe Lee Hurst wanted Frankie Boyles old job but got turned down?
