Madeleine McCann Is Up For A Laugh – But Not With Frankie Boyle

MADELEINE McCann: the joke’s wearing a bit thin on Our Maddie.

At the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall Jerry Sadowitz lite Frankie Boyle took to the stage to unleash an “offensive tirade”.

Boyle hits the soft targets with a paddle. If he were offensive people would be offended. It’d be entertaining. But the punters don’t leave. They are not offended. Boyle is a simply a performer who has worked out how middle-of-the-road humour chooses it’s edge:

Referencing Madeleine McCann, the room turned icy cold, but Boyle was sharp enough to move swiftly on.

So much for the outrageous comic testing the limits. He should have carried on. But instead Boyle tells jokes about Jade Goody and Susan Boyle. Boyle is not outrageous. He is safe and routine.

Madeleine McCann is missing.
