An Evening with Ricky Hatton

[toffeejack]

Anyone been to this before?

It's a 2 hour session with Frank Bruno also making an appearance what should I expect?

I hope to hear some good boxing insight from Ricky Hatton and some interesting tales about a lot of boxers.

I don't really want to hear the same old jokes he goes on about his old man and his missus being in "Babe" though.

I think you've got a problem

[Ilesey]

He's in Cardiff on the 22nd and I've got my ticket.

If you don't want to hear the same jokes then don't go. He has a pretty fixed routine from what I can see, mainly "old" jokes and stories reworked and given a boxing flavor.

[GPater11093]

my mate saw him said he was hilarious and a real nice guy

[trotter]

He will tell the same jokes you've heard before

Seeing as you aren't a massive fan (fair comment?) you are going to be disappointed I bet

He is witty though, when circumstances force him out of the routine he adapts well.

Don't expect anything too in-depth about the fight game. Most of the crowd won't be ardent fans of the sport, so they pitch it accordingly.

Bruno is a diamond, he seems a lovely guy. Shame about the problems he had.

I am fan, not as big a fan as I was but still a fan otherwise I wouldn't bother at all. Oh well it's a few pints and a night out no matter what it turns out like.

mainly "old" jokes

"I'm not saying me mum is scary but my rice crispies...........":nut:nut:nut

I went to this back in July and really enjoyed it. Hatton is naturally a funny man, although he was only on stage for about 45 mins. Bruno was on for about half hour and had a compere with him throughout.
Good night though, but his dad and missus do get more than a mention!!

[GazOC]

...and his Dads passport photo joke!!

Hattons slipped up repeating too many of his jokes on TV, most comedians never do or allow a live show to be televised until they have new material ready because once its been on TV and everyone has heard it, its fucked.

[TFFP]

I never tell a joke more than two times. I know the limits of my memory, I feel like I could make a fool of myself and tell it to the same person(s).

Yeah I knew you were a fan that had gone off Hatton...you seemed to have gone off him more and more lately

If you were a rabid hater like some round here, I'd advise you not to go

As it is I'd be amazed if you didn't enjoy it. I saw him at a show with Bruno, McGuigan and Henry Cooper and I just fúcking loved it

[hit me HARDER]

Mate, you'll have a laugh definitely trust me, I wouldn't worry.

[Rebel-INS]

I'd rather spend an evening with Pol Pot.

[Betty Swollocks]

do yourself a favour and book a dental appointment instead, it'll be more fun. Hatton and Bruno are both twats, shame so many don't see through the fake 'nice guy' routines.

Do you actually know them or are you just mental?

While I wouldn't want to go to an evening with Ricky Hatton, calling him a twat is going a bit far. He seems like a decent bloke, and Bruno is awesome.

Hattons routine is basic but effective. Hopefully some highlights will appear in youtube.

in the ring and out??....haha...sounds like a great night..definitely worth it id say

[saturday_kid]

I'm no massive Hatton fan but I went to the one in Wolverhampton last week, was a decent night. Hattons bit was a bit of a fixed routine, was ok really some bits were funny, predictable though.

Bruno did a q and a and he really impressed me, he came across really genuine, funny, and a top bloke, blew Hatton away for entertainment imo

["TKO"]

It's wearing a little thin now.:patsch

As far as understatements go this one is on a par with saying the Titanic had an unfortunate accident!!!

Some highlights :rofl:lol:

That amused me more than Hatton's tired old jokes :smoke

[Beeston Brawler]

Hatton's one liners.......

Should see me with a hardon I look like the letter Q

Look at my missus, she's a babe. You've seen the film

It's a pleasure to be stood here in front of such a good audience..... actually after my last fight it's just a pleasure to be fucking standing

Look at me mam. What a fucking monster. Her rice crispies don't go snap crackle and pop. Shhhhhhh she's fucking coming

[saturday_kid]

I did like the one about Junior Witter, "no one goes to his fights", "I was at his last fight and someone tapped me on the shoulder and said Ricky are you staying til the end? Yeah I replied, heres the keys then you lock up"

If you think that's funny you are very easily pleased.

I am

You should see the girls I end up with some nights :D

Or, maybe, he's not stuck up his own arsé and consumed with bitterness

[GazOC]

TBH I thought the Witter comment was pretty funny. This is just a boxer doing a larger version of what used to be called sportsmens evenings after all.
