I think he's great. Rude and mean, it's great. If you are offended by him, then you take life far too seriously.

I've seen Bruce Devlin twice, although the second time was by accident, as I definitely would not have attended if I knew he was on. Both shows were without doubt the worst I've ever been to. There didn't seem to be any attempt at humour in his material. Just pointless profanity with the aim to mindlessly disgust people. If this is what counts as "cutting edge" then god save comedy. It's a real shame he is the compere as he brings down the other comedians who are actually funny.

Fabulous act and great compere. Acerbic and cutting and as you can see from the comments below, definately not for the faint hearted.

I've seen Bruce Devlin many times and have yet to see him die. Who are you people? Jealous much?

Saw him last night and thought he was the worst act up there, and that included the newcomer. He was crude, unfunny and completely unloaded a torrent of abuse including 'you fat cunt' to one poor man in the audience who Bruce mistakenly thought had badmouthed him. Expected better yet could see the whole audience felt totally unamused and uncomfortable. Sadly disappointed

Bruce is one desperately unfunny, and eyebleedingly unpleasant compere. I've suffered him at the Stand several times now and not once heard him get even one genuine laugh. This man's entire comedic repertoire (so far as I can tell) rests on making the audience so profoundly disgusted and uncomfortable that they're embarrassed into believing he's "edgy"

Absolutely terrible. His material is kind of like Graham Norton on speed. He put me off going to The Stand for a long time.

Racist, nasty, homophobic completely vile - the best thing to happen to Scottish comedy since Jane Mackay. Absolute genius. Fagtastic!
