Holds the record for the shortest gig ever in our local Catholic club.

Said club had been burgled the night before and the television stolen.

As he walked on stage he looked up at a Christ on the cross hanging on the wall and said said “I see you caught the c*** that nicked your telly”. End of gig.

There are lots of stories about him getting booed off stage and it's difficult to know which are true and which ones are urban myth.
My favourite is the one where he was supposedly dragged off stage and battered.
It was in Middlesbrough around the time if the Cleveland sexual abuse scandal. His opening was " Its nice to see a packed house, I thought you'd all be at home f***ing your kids". It didn't go down well with the locals.

I dunno I think a lot of them might be true, I seen him once and he told a joke at the start about a plane that had crashed into an appartment block in Holland, something about someone leaving the landing lights on, but the crash was like a day or so before, bit soon perhaps, he then said hold on two of my mates are here, walked off the stage then came back on with two skeletons and said say hello to Benny Hill and Frankie Howard, both had recently died. Then his third gag, Liverpool were playing a cup game that night and he goes "if anyone is recording the footy Liverpool are...." and he told everyone the score haha bearing in mind this was pre social media/phones so you could do that and watch when you got home like the Likely lads, crazy opening.

I wouldnt watch or listen to him now but did a few times as a teenager
 

I have read his book.its a good read.he had a tough upbringing from a very tough part of mboro.dont think much of him as a comic but i grew to admire his

A former colleague of mine says he knows Brown well and that he's nothing like his onscreen persona in real life. He described Brown as salt of the earth. His style of comedy is too vulgar for me, though.

I’ve read his autobiography, Common as muck. Thought it was going to be just like his stage act, but it was a really interesting read into his personal life and background. Totally different to his stage persona. Comes across as being quite normal off stage.

Apparently, he didn't like his kids using bad language at home.
 

Went to watch him about 20 years ago, front row - centre stage, literally about 6ft away from me. I didn't move a muscle for an hour.

Got his autograph after the show and got chatting, he's actually a nice bloke, completely different to his stage persona.

Went with an ex and her sister and her fella (her sister was a big girl) and the first thing he said when he found out they were sister's was 'I can see who gets all the snap in your house'.
