Lee Evans is far and away the shittest comedian I’ve seen. Just amateurishly unfunny.

You reading the telephone directory would have been funnier than him.

What the Heck, Chris, your thread has turned into a discussion about comedians.

For my own part, I liked George Carlin, because he had an axe to grind. I loved US sitcoms like Married With Children, Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm even though I didn't like a single character in any of them.

Given he has turned the new badge launch into a comedy of errors it's hardly surprising.

I love Stewart Lee and don’t mind Jimmy Carr, although just a string of one liners gets a bit tiring after a while.

Same here. Back in my Uni days, Kevin McAleer was the campus favourite (very, very dry).

I've seen quite a few comedians, mainly ones I have wanted to see unless it's at the Glee when you don't who is appearing. I did get dragged to see Micky Flanagan at an arena gig and I f**king hated it. Observation type stuff just isn't my thing, I don't 'get' it at all.

I also love Stewart Lee but I remember my mom watching some with me and I reckon she'd have laughed more at puppies being put down.

I rather thought as I come by unheralded by some it was a mere post on the subject of the up and coming summer series in America something Heck will be involved with and that possibly signing of a player thats all

Oh yeh that’s it, you can fool some of the people some of the time…….

Fair play to you, though Paddy!

My job involves alot of standing in front of people talking, but I would never have the bollocks to do stand up. A good mate of mine here is heavily involved in the Tokyo stand up scene, so if you ever fancy a slot here, let me know!

Everyone I met in Mexico wanted me to do a bit, but I'm not biting unless there's money in it Nik!

Following Ron into Villa Park, Ben Hatton joins as Chief Operating Officer. A chartered accountant, Ben brings 25 years of international football experience to the team.

And, completing the line-up of new hires, is Ryan Disdier. Ryan arrives as Vice President, Content and Digital. An experienced social media executive, Ryan has worked with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Washington Wizards in the NBA as well as the Washington Commanders in the NFL.

Elsewhere, Club Ambassador and former player, Ahmed Elmohamady, is now working closely with the club’s commercial department in a full-time capacity.

Chris Heck, President of Business Operations, said: “I’m delighted to be able to welcome four fantastic operators in their respective fields to the Senior Leadership Team at Villa Park. And, of course, bring Elmo back to the club in an official role.

“This has been a thoughtful process, looking at areas we could strengthen our existing management structure, and I’m excited we now have a team in place that can help project this great football club forward as we embark on the next leg of our exciting journey.

“It’s time to awaken this sleeping giant of a football club – both on and off the pitch - and our supporters have every right to feel excited about what the future holds. Aston Villa is a huge, historic institution that is on the rise again.”
