The Emily Atack Show

Whoever gave Emily Atack the idea she is funny has a lot to answer for.

I endured one episode of this and will never again.

Atack is not funny at all. She is smarmy and basically does the same routine over and over again. Obviously she thinks more of herself than her audience, and the only way to get laughs into her routine is to use canned laughter.

Put simply, this show is absolutely pathetic. Who decided it would be a good idea to use canned laughter? The jokes are awful and it never fails to cut to the audience in hysterics. Clearly the audience laughter is old footage, from other stand up comics. I can't believe this is on TV. Some of the sketch ideas are ok (like the girls looking like 'goblins' next to the 'fit' friend) but the actors just aren't funny.

The whole premise of this show appears to be to portray herself in as vulgar a way as possible. It's not in the least bit funny, it's crass, cringeworthy & vulgar.

How on earth was this recommissioned for a second series!

Absolute dross.

This show is so awful it can only be described as watching an unfunny relative tell a meandering story filled with boring ancodotes. It's literally like watching your sister trying to tell a joke after you have told her she isn't funny. It's a real shame as Emily is likeable in general but not in this show!

I wasn't bothered at all how many times she mentioned willies or how many people she said she'd slept with etc, I didn't find it any more vulgar than many male comedians, and I didn't find it offensive - it just wasn't funny.

But it was SO unfunny that it made me cringe. Physically. The sketches were terrible, some of the stand up could've been ok if it'd been delivered by someone else perhaps but her delivery is so forced and unnatural it's hard to watch.

I'd say you should watch an episode just to see how bad it is, but that might encourage ITV to keep recommissioning it..
