There came a reply which not one person was expecting: In the audience there was a party of scouts, who had all booked tickets for their annual day out. One of the little scamps, who I believe was not identified, called out, "yes, a Mod:Swearing deleted" The whole auditorium was apparently in fits of laughter, especially when Mr Davidson started to get quite angry and demand that the child be found and escorted from the stalls. The point I am making, is that there will come a time when Frankie Boyle will become the "Mod:Swearing deleted" at a children's panto.
I'll see if I can find a link to it later. Mod: No linking to unsuitable material

Sorry, just chuckling at the thought of an audience member shouting "Mod:Swearing Deleted" at a comedian. Little surreal.

In some cases, they still can be, or were.
Frankie Boyle can be incredibly funny.
As can Ricky Gervais, although sadly he seems to be increasingly moving toward just being nasty.
