Some Thoughts on Baldness

[Fixed by 35]

See fixed..... baldness isnt all doom and gloom - you even watch satirical news programmes......featuring a funny, short bald guy

Actually, I think you've hit on something there. Men with too much hair (eg. Michael MacIntyre, Paul Merton, Jonathon Ross, Rory McGrath) are not funny. Maybe it's because they come across like arrogant c**ts instead of funny men. Bald men are (eg. Dara O'Briain, Andy Parsons, Ian Hislop).

There are exceptions. Mel Smith is bald and not remotely funny, whilst Ricky Gervais who has hair is funny (although that might be because he always presumably acts in character when he does stand up. Either that or he really is a t**t!) Also, it's not so much that comedians must be bald, they just mustn't have too much hair (perhaps too much hair makes them look like clowns?) Think Frankie Boyle, for example.

Oh, and taking this trend to the extreme, it might explain why female stand up comedians aren't funny. Ever. (Or perhaps it's because 99.9% of the time their material relies on 'men are crap' jokes which are basically of the same low quality as 'wife' and 'mother in law' jokes).

Even though I'm from the states and nobody here knows who he is.
I think Bill Bailey is probably one of the funniest and smartest comedians
on the planet. And he makes his rather unique look work for him.
He can still rock the long hair look.
