Top 5 Favourite Female Comedians

This list can be taken both as a hot list and as a list of the female comedians I find funniest as both lists turn out to be in the same order. These girls have me glued to the screen every show they do both through their routine and their pretty faces. I'm weird in the way that -unlike most men- I get really attracted to a funny woman.

5. Nina Conti,
Nina Conti is a ventriloquist from London and she's one hell of a looker. I love how shy she seems when she doesn't have a puppet in her hands. The first time I seen her was on Russell Howard's Good News with Granny but Monk is so much better.

4. Katherine Ryan,
Katherine Ryan is a very funny Canadian comedian the lives in London. I love her in a skater dress, she looks cute as hell. She's a regular on panel shows. The first time I seen her was on QI and I've been looking out for ever since, even watching shows I don't normally care about because I've seen her name in the description.

3. Shappi Khorsandi,
Shappi Khorsandi is one of the best comedians around at the moment. She's another London based comedian. She's been one of  my favourite female comedians the longest and I've been watching her stand-up since 2008. I've even stopped for longer than anyone should on Loose Women because I've spotted her on it.

2. Andi Osho,
Until a couple of weeks ago Andi Osho was my number one, she's bloody gorgeous and hilarious. It wasn't long after I discovered Shappi Khorsandi that I first seen Andi Osho on Mock the Week. As with Shappi Khorsandi and Katherine Ryan, I like to keep an eye out for Andi Osho in TV shows.

1. Aisling Bea,
I don't know that much about Aisling Bea yet as I seen her for the first time on 8 Out of 10 Cats just two weeks ago. I do know however that she is a classic Irish beauty and every time she spoke she had me laughing out loud. I'll definitely be looking out for her in the future.

Shadow of Mordor

This game is fantastic. I love the way the game starts. To start with it's annoyingly hard but once you get used to the combat it's non-stop fun. Even dying isn't annoying. As for the combat it's pretty fun, it's not a fluid as Assassin's Creed or the Arkham series but it's still pretty fun and looks amazing once you get a good rhythm going.  I thought the pauses while a captain was introduced to you would get old fast but it hasn't annoyed me yet.

I started off playing with Talion's default outfit but changed to the Dark Ranger outfit. It's extremely cool and fits with the character I think.

The wraith aspect, Celebrimbor is cool as hell too. I love the way he looks, it's no wonder why the orcs are terrified of him. I also love how the orcs run away from you even early on in the game.

Then we have the enemies themselves. The massive variety of orcs is amazing and the nemesis system works so well. The three main antagonists are amazing too, they look pretty bad-ass.

The Hammer, The Hand, The Tower

I'm having a lot of fun playing this massive game and you will too if you like games like Assassin's Creed or if you're a fan of the Lord of the Rings.

Meghan Trainor

I think everyone knows who Meghan Trainor is by now. If not she's the cute girl with all the right curves in all the right places that sings the song All About That Bass.

She really is a smoking hot girl and even though a lot of idiots are saying she's fat all you need to know that's not true is eyes and a brain. She looks amazing. I love her style too, it's very attractive and very colourful with rocky and retro aspects.

As for the song that's made her famous, it promotes a positive body image. If you listen to the lyrics carefully she sings about how both curvy and skinny girls are "perfect from the bottom to the top". So all arguments over this song are null and void. It's obviously a good thing telling people to be comfortable in their own skin. I've noticed in the past few years more and more people are becoming more confident thanks to the increasing number of celebrities that are letting the world see their imperfections and not caring as much about their appearance as the previous generations. It's probably thanks to a combination of the internet leaking un-edited magazine picks and HD TVs making it almost impossible to hide a spot with makeup. I'm a firm believer in women being them selves and as natural as possible. Most men will agree they're more attractive than the women that have been brain-washed into thinking they need to act dumb and starve themselves. I just wish a curvy girl could do something of worth in this world without sparking a debate about body image. The same thing happened when Adele became famous.

Talking about her song All About that Bass, I actually really like the song, it's pretty catchy. Meghan looks cute as hell in the video too.

Arrow

Like most shows I came into Arrow late, I've just started watching season one. Normally I hate shows that focus on flashbacks so much but the flash backs in this are awesome, they are kinda like a live action Far Cry 3.

The Green Arrow costume itself is amazing. Wish people would stop calling him the Hood though.

The bad guys look awesome too, I especially like Wintergreen and the Dark Arrow. They look proper bad-ass.

Wintergreen

The Dark Arrow

There's so many great looking people in this show. Katie Cassidy plays Laurel, Oliver's ex and a lawyer trying to take down the corrupt people of the city through legal channels.

Emily Bett Rickards might be my favourite girl on the show, she is Felicity the prettiest computer genius I've ever seen. She works for Oliver.

Don't let Arrow know I said this but his little sister, Thea is bloody gorgeous although a little annoying. She's played by the lovely Willa Holland.

I don't normally include people outside the regular cast in these posts unless they are epically cool or beyond beautiful and Jessica De Gouw as Helena Bertinelli / The Huntress is both.

I really can't wait til I catch up with this show as the latest pictures I've seen excite me quite a bit.

The Flash (2014)

I've been watching The Flash and I think it's my new favourite show. It's kind of like Smallville in style, you just don't have to wait for it to get exciting. There's action from episode one. They've really done this show right.

Grant Gustin who plays the Flash is another young actor that's very talented and immensely likable. The Flash outfit looks pretty damn cool too.

Just like all superhero stuff there's some strong and gorgeous women in this. The massively pretty Candice Patton plays Iris, the girl that put the Flash into the friend zone.

One of my favourite actresses, Danielle Panabaker plays Caitlin Snow. She's one of the scientists that helps The Flash.

Fans of Arrow should give this a watch.

Guardians of the Galaxy

This movie is a lot of fun. If you don't have fun watching this movie then I'd question your sanity, I really don't know what my favourite Marvel movie is now but this would be a major contender. I didn't know much about these guys before this movie. I had only read two comics before from the 80s maybe 90s: The Incredible Hulk vs Drax the Destroyer and Warlock and the Infinity Watch which was another team that had Drax and Gamora in it.

Chris Pratt is amazing as Star Lord and the costume is cool as hell.

Zoe Saldana is also amazing in this and she proves once again that not only is she hot in all colours she is also the go to woman for action in modern cinema.

The bad guys in this are pretty damn cool too Ronan the Accuser played by Lee Pace looks just like he does in the comics. He's such a bad-ass antagonist.

Personally my favourite thing about this movie is Nebula, the way that woman looks is incredible.

Nebula looks pretty amazing in a different way without the makeup on too as she's played by Scotland's best looking export Karen Gillan.

This is definitely one to watch for Marvel fans.

Doom 3 BFG Edition

I remember playing Doom 3 when it first came out on a friend's X-box. I didn't have one as I was a skint student. I've played it again pretty recently and it's still a great game to play. I love how it feels like the original game but with better graphics. It's also still able to give you a few jumps. This edition is amazing as it has Doom, Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Doom 2's expansion No Rest for the Wicked, Doom 3 and both of Doom 3's expansion packs,Resurrection of Evil and The Lost Mission.

I love the enemies in the game too, the imps in particular look creepy as hell and they are the source of most of the scares in the game as they have a tendency to jump out at you from behind doors, around corners and from holes in the walls, floors and ceilings.

Then there's the final boss in the game, the updated version of the Cyberdemon looks bad ass. It's a lot easier than the original Cyberdemon though.

I loved Resurrection of Evil too, it's always awesome being able to kill a Hell Knight with one punch and the artifact you find in the beginning of the game allows you to do that.

I much prefer the Forgotten Souls to the Lost Souls as they look more like the Lost Souls from the old games plus a flaming horned skull is much cooler than a human head with rockets on it.

The Hunter boss battles were pretty good too, they look like pimped-out Hell Knights.

I also loved the lost mission as it felt more like Doom 3 but had all the tweaks from Resurrection of Evil.

If you're a youngster wondering what all the fuss was about or just want to feel nostalgic then you should try this out. You can get it for Xbox 360, PS3 or on Steam.

Top 5 ICW Wrestlers

With the ever increasing popularity of ICW and the recent(ish) release of ICW On Demand I thought I'd do a top five of the Glasgow based wrestling company's wrestlers.

5. Wolfgang,
Wolfgang is one of the crowd favourites and one of mine obviously. He's one of the largest and strongest of the wrestlers as well as having a very impressive amount of agility for a big man. One of his signature moves involves him picking up another wrestler and throwing them into the crowd.

4. Joe Coffey,
Joe Coffey is known as the 'Iron Man' of ICW hence his Iron Man style face paint. I've been a fan from before I was supposed to be, back when he was a bad guy in a tag team with Mark Coffey. I loved the way The Coffey Brothers looked like American wrestlers. Today he is truly awesome, being the epitome of metal as he comes to the ring playing Iron Man by Black Sabbath on the guitar. He's also always one of the best ICW wrestlers to watch.

 
3. Jack Jester,
Jack Jester is one of the most loved of all the ICW roster, he's one of the faces of the company. He's famous for his hardcore matches and his battles with Drew Galloway are legendary. His theme tune is also the music for ICW's shows online and on TV.

2. Grado,
What? Grado isn't number one? Grado is the other face of ICW and although I think he's awesome he's not my favourite. He's loved by all the ICW fans and for good reason. He is quintessentially Scottish, he is basically The Rock of ICW (The Scottish People's wrestler). He knows how to work a crowd, this can be seen at ICW shows as hundreds of metalheads sing along loudly and proudly to Madonna's Like A Prayer.

1. Mikey Whiplash,
Everyone that has read my blog regularly (if anyone) knows I love a good psychopath and Mikey Whiplash is one good psychopath. Another thing I love is cool face paint and that's another thing Mikey Whiplash has. He's also a great wrestler in general and he's always a pleasure to watch with him being able to utilize most wrestling styles in the ring. I loved the way he was when he was a good guy and love it even more that he's back as a dark character again. The way he came back to ICW (carried to the ring in a body bag and "brought back to life" by a ritual) was flawless. I do love a wrestler that has their opponents terrified.

Insane Championship Wrestling

When I was a kid I was a fan of WWE when it was still WWF. I stopped watching it for a long time though and was never interested in watching any form of wrestling again. My interest in "sports entertainment" was peaked again though when a friend of ICW's owner Mark Dallas invited me and my roommate to go see a show in either 2010 or 2011. The show was in Apollo 23, Glasgow. The venue was quite small and I got hit in the face with a wrestler (that's right, with not by). The show was pretty awesome though and I've been semi-into wrestling again ever since. The owner, Mark Dallas, is an inspiration I think. There's too much stigma with being Scottish, we've been brainwashed from an early age to think that anything Scottish is inferior and that we should inspire to be like any other country. That is a lie however and ICW is one of the many things that have recently proven this point. ICW has kept its distinctly Scottish nature as well as being just as good as the larger companies like WWE.

Even though I don't know any the ICW people personally it still fills me with pride seeing them do so well. It really has blew up for them and it's pretty awesome. It's pretty cool seeing their shows now, especially since the last one I went to was massive compared to the first one I went to as there was over 1600 people there. I think their success lies in their guts to take risks and the personalities of the wrestlers especially their most popular ones like Jack Jester and Grado.

A personal highlight for me is the comedians The Wee Man and Billy 'Fucking' Kirkwood. I love that Billy Kirkwood starts every show with a few jokes and his commentary along with Sean David is always hilarious.

Billy Kirkwood

You should give ICW a watch if you like wrestling or like me you had ignored it for years. They are however for adults only and put on some epic hardcore matches. You can find ICW online on youtube and you can access ICW On Demand via the official site.
