No idea of the name but once saw this alleged comedian in the supporters bar at Chelmsford City's New Writtle Street ground. A dive of a venue if ever there was.
It was mid 1980s and the comedian was awful and racist in the extreme. His theme was to launch in to 20 'gags' about one race and then do another 20, and so on. It was so bad it was fascinating, we all watched in stupified silence (the bar was very cheap).
After about 60 of these quick fire unfunnies one bloke in the audience got up and moved away from his seat.
"Oi you, where do you think you're going," our jokey turn shouted.
"I'm gonna have a p**s before the comedian comes on" was his retort.
The whole audience collapsed in prolonged laughter. Unable to regain control the comedian gave up and went to the bar.

Was that the bar under the main stand? I was only a kid but have fond memories of going to the games with my Baddow Spartak team and being in that bar. Think they knocked the ground down when I was about 11 though

Yes it was as Swiss T confirmed already. We used to frequent it as sixth formers at Dovedales up the road when it was used to hold parties. The main floor was deadly - spilt beer made it very slippery and once after a few sherberts I joined the dancing throng and slipped over, bashed my head against the speaker which in turn knocked the needle off the record and the music stopped. Everyone turned to look down at me, I went to get up and then slipped back down again .Not my finest moment.
Post sixth form we then used it as a venue to hold pool tournaments with teams entering from various offices or factories throughout Chelmsford. The league seemed t attract a few unsavoury types, mostly a few much older gas workers who didn't take kindly to getting whipped at pool by some young fresh faced office types.
Happy days though

Still Loves Emma Bunton. Roy McDonough is God!
I’ve never understood why the Goons is adored by so many. Perhaps it was because it was such a departure from other comedy of the time?
I listen to classic comedies on Britcom 1,2 and 3. I’ve tried to find it funny honestly but I just can’t. Hinge and Brackett on the other hand is exceptionally clever. Plenty of other good stuff on there too together (and some dross) with advert reruns in between some of the shows and old music that mostly doesn’t get rerun on mainstream radio.

About 20 years ago I was an evening guest at a wedding. When we turned up the best man was pacing about smoking and asked us if we were coming in to watch the speech.
Because we were early and the evening session hadn't started yet we declined and went for a drink next door.
When we made our way to the event it turned out the best mans speech had been so poorly judged and was so full of filth half of the brides family had left and any celebration had been killed stone dead.
I really regret not taking the best man up on his offer now. There was some good news. Because so many people had left the hog roast buffet was now massively over catered and I managed to help them out with the surplus.
