God the rapist

In Frankie Boyle's mind. WTF...

  • Trust Gilbert Gottfried to get in with the first joke about Greg Giraldo, tweeting just hours after his death: ‘If Greg Giraldo is cremated, will that be the Greg Giraldo Roast?’

  • Frankie Boyle is showing no sign of toning down his offensive output. He has written a new comic strip for the magazine Clint in which God is a rapist who forces himself on to both Eve and Jesus.

  • This week's Malcolm Hardee story: When filling in an invoice which asked for his VAT number, the perpetually dodgy comic would apparently write in his phone number, then add 17.5 per cent to the total...

  • Russell Brand has admitted a fetish for breast milk. ‘Breast milk is wasted on babies,’ he reveals in My Booky Wook 2, revealing he once had an affair with a married woman who would come round to his flat when she was lactating. On stage last night, he claimed that bride-to-be Katy Perry 'doesn't mind' his fixation, ‘which bodes well for the first pregnancy,' he added.

  • Some guy tries stand-up in his back garden. Funny, but not in a good way:
    A taxi driver who gave Fred MacAulay a lift this week asked: ‘Fred MacAulay? Are you the guy who was in Home Alone?’

  • Shameless publicity stunt for the new series of Never Mind The Buzzcocks? Yesterday The Sun reported: ‘Comic Jack Dee left X Factor Twins Jedward on the brink of tears after bombarding them with insults while recording a TV show.’ But the duo themselves said: ‘Jack Dee was a bit rude but we've had worse. At the end of the show he asked for a picture with us so we think he's secretly a massive fan.’

  • Jim Jefferies new DVD pared down to the important bits:

  • ‘I was on maternity leave when Big Top was commissioned.’ BBC’s head of comedy commissioning Cheryl Taylor

  • Tweets of the week:
    Angelos Epithemiou (@angelos): I ranted on the radio for half an hour once when my boss was late paying me and I got sacked, but it’s different when you’re a taxi driver.
    Mark Watson (@watsoncomedian): Re: An Idiot Abroad- If I want to see British people misunderstanding foreign cultures, I'll just go anywhere in the world except Britain.
    Gary Delaney (@GaryDelaney): Apparently when AA asked if I could sponsor someone they didn't mean 10p a drink.
