I’m reading “I Wanna be Yours” his newly released autobiography. It’s absolutely brilliant! I like to think that I can string a sentence together but I am humbled by how articulate this fella is, his vocabulary is awesome. Just treat yerself and buy it!!!
I've met him a few times and he is without doubt one of the nicest, most gentle and articulate human beings you could ever hope to spend time with. He is one of my (probably the biggest) heroes.
When I was doing my apprenticeship as a joiner at Salford Tech, John was the storesman who gave you the tools and stuff you needed. He was very funny. I think he used to tell poems over at the Woolpack pub. Listen to his poem on the Telly Tubbies.
Went to see the guy a few weeks ago. Absolutely superb!! Right up to date humour, blisteringly funny observations. “ I’m recently divorced.” We shared the family home - - - I got the outside.” 😂😂😂
American comedians were using that joke in the 1950s . Even so , John Cooper Clarke is a legend and he tells a good joke well , even though most of them are ancient , though still funny .
When I lived in Nottingham, my flatmate worked as a promoter for a local comedy club. He offered me a free ticket to see a "John Cooper Clarke". I didn't know who he was and when my flatmate described him as a "punk poet", I rolled my eyes. I went anyway and I don't think I've ever laughed that hard at a live comedy gig in my life. He tore the roof off the place and and I became an instant fan.
Seen his show two years ago in Dundee,during one of his wonderful rants somebody in the audience did that single clap thing in the wrong place and without skipping a beat he said,save it till the end give me it in a lump sum.True legend
They only go to TV personalities the queen likes. So Sir Tony Robinson gets one because she liked Time Team. What a joke. (Yeah, she's dead, but you know what I mean.)
Woolwich Polytechnic (now part of the University of Greenwich) used to have a bar in the cellar. One night I was there to see a band (maybe local boys Squeeze). In comes JCC, who was a suuport act. He was totally pissed and made an important announcement. " 'as anyone seen a blue marblette notebook?" Dunno if he found it but he went on and did his thing flawlessly. Must have been about 1980.
The Double Diamond flowed like sick, The Double Diamond flowed like sick Mother’s Pride, tortilla and chips Pneumatic drills when you try to kip …in Majorca
Great clip! JCC is brilliant. First heard him back in 1977 on the "Streets" compilation album (I still have it). Also nice to see Donnie Sutherland (the host) again. I used to watch his shows religiously.
From a misunderstanding seeing his name scrawled on the bog door at school (I thought it was the name of a fellow inmate) to ten years later my then boss lent me his “10 years in an open necked shirt” poetry collection John has had me pissing myself for 30 years! Here’s to 30 more !
@@Exisles the book my boss lent me was called “10 years in an open necked shirt” It’s rarer than rocking horse droppings apparently ! Apparently he doesn’t live round my manchester anymore! He’s in Essex now I’ve heard ! Are you from Newbury then ?
@@nicksmart5469 @Nick Smart Hi there; That's the one I've got & it's an original paperback; I was a teenage werewolf who bought 'Disguise In Love' upon it's release. Learnt all the words.Though being from south of England couldn't do the Manc accent justice, when quoting the great bard ! He died on stage in Newbury 2000. Though I still got to buy him a pint & get the book monikered.
OMG i laughed sooo hard. and how took a drag and rocked his head after. icing on the cake. and omg he told it so well. thats talent! thanks for upload!!
It’s quality. All in the delivery of a truly corny joke. Brilliant. He’s great these days on 8 out of 10 cats countdown. And yeah his biography is a great read.
Such a blokey joke. I don’t think I’ve ever gone into work after a a haircut without all the usual “was he pissed or something?” “When you going backing?” “Did he charge you for that?!” 😂

It’s a wonderful book and a laugh a minute. Best tenner I ever spent. There’s lots that could be not exactly true but wtf.
I’ve almost finished listening to the audiobook which he narrates himself. It’s great.
thanks for the heads up
Off to buy it now😁
@@ex-scientia4234 Where's the audio book that he narrates?
this video is such a vibe with temptation playing, it's like sitting in the pub listening to a mate's story
haha spot on
This!
A proper Pub with no kids or Women. 3 pork pies under glass on the bar. Im in the Tap Room having 4 fags and 5 pints of Mild.
JCC's genius haiku:
To convey one’s mood
In seventeen syllables
Is very diffic
Thanks Johnny.
‘To freeze the moment in seventeen syllables is very diffic’…
Sorry for being pedantic about it is the actual quote 😉

Slow clap as in a protest type thing
genuine git love him
Really funny ! Never disappointed by JCC . Absolute legend . Tells a great story and his poetry is the business ! Rock on !
Fucking priceless.
John Cooper Clarke should have a Knighthood or a peerage by now.
They only go to TV personalities the queen likes. So Sir Tony Robinson gets one because she liked Time Team. What a joke. (Yeah, she's dead, but you know what I mean.)
@@bobikdylan never heard of this guy. did he ever leave the UK? the Commonwealth would like to know.
Johnny Cooper Clarke in my recommendations. Nice surprise

That was one of my Dad’s jokes. He lived in Salford for a while 👍🤣😎
A young Michael Hutchence to his left. I saw JCC and New Order on this tour of Oz. JCC was unforgettable.
yeah me too, palais st kilda
classic JCC. intellect + humour = Genius
John reminds me very much of the late Gary Holton who played Wayne in Auf Weidersehen Pet.
I thought the exact same! 👍
@@dreamliving3858 yes
Ditto!
My favourite quote from JCC. Home Honey I'm high.

I'll bet you smell like a retirement home.
Love the way he says ‘Catholics’
I thought he was going to say cunts🤣
Sat beside him in bungies once. Quiet guy. Best poet ever! Stuck in chicken town, prophetic for today
. . . Evidently!🐓🐔
I know this is a bit late but I can't believe bungies is still going I went there in the early seventies
I sat next to Frank Zappa in a London club once in the 70s - and that's my claim to fame.
INXS, John Cooper Clarke and New Order (who apparently he was touring with) all on the same show in 1982. This is a historical video.
The setup is funnier than the punchline, but that’s no bad thing ❤️
Jesus this is good, Norm and him are cut from the same cloth.
OMG i laughed sooo hard. and how took a drag and rocked his head after. icing on the cake. and omg he told it so well. thats talent! thanks for upload!!
Fascinating.
The epitome of the British joke . Took a long time to get there and wasn't really that funny . ( which actually makes it funnier ) .
i thought it was hillarious. i wet myself. there again, i am a brit.
Awww John, did a British joke not want to fuck you or is your sense of humour a bit lacking in general?
Not really, norm Macdonald has a load of jokes in this style
American here, I loved it. Love the Brit’s.
It’s quality. All in the delivery of a truly corny joke. Brilliant. He’s great these days on 8 out of 10 cats countdown. And yeah his biography is a great read.
Absolutely outstanding 😁
Brilliant ! Some people just don't got a sense of humour.
Ooof! Meet the flavoured yoghurt of social commentary. Watch out for this guy!
this is fucking genius, only john or norm macdonald could pull this one off.
Upstaged New Order on stage at the Capitol....then encored 'Sister Ray' with them. Great tour.
I remember doing a piece in English back in the early 80s on his poem Majorkaa !
You can see the compere of Working Men's clubs experience coming to the fore in this clip as He tells a perfect joke.
You’re the man Clarke
The joke is mildly funny but it's the delivery that makes it golden!
Lol this man is absolutely brilliant. 😂✌👀
Superb telling
Donnie Sutherland.
The Legend.
ha , i saw new order and john cooper clarke at the Palais in Stkilda in about 82 or3, this must be from that tour, the Saints played too
richard finlayson I was there. Quite the lineup
Such a blokey joke. I don’t think I’ve ever gone into work after a a haircut without all the usual “was he pissed or something?” “When you going backing?” “Did he charge you for that?!” 😂
We need more Jonny Clarke 😍
Remember JCC was the warm up act for Suzie and the Banshees late eighties I think a long long time ago
Always end a joke lighting a ciggie. That's the capper.
Best joke I’ve ever heard
It's all in the delivery.
Loved his act in "Urrrgh- a Music War."
Everybody else on that couch was fked! Gurning and zoning out...proper spangled!
JCC had probably been up for 3 days already!
temptation by new order
I grew up watching Sounds Unlimited then just Sounds with Donny Southerland saturday mornings in the 70s
Ellen DeGeneres look so young here
Its not her.
Pete Marr No shit pete
And thick...
0faewfewa she does indeed
@@petemarr824 there will always be someone who says 'it's not her''. can't you tell a joke when you hear one?
Ooh coot yeh fookin air?
I want to hear him do the camel joke again. Can't find it anywhere.
He looks like the Late Great Gary Holton.
Great joke as well 😂
That’s what was thinking. 😅
That's JCC Brilliance For You .... Top Man .... Quinny
Amazing Guy !!!
Great to hear the really, really, really ancient hairdresser joke repeated.....for the god knows how many times......
That was worth the wait 😂
Shaggy dog story indeed, from one of the UK’s greatest modern poets.
That's Michael Hutchence and another member of INXS on the couch there no? The lady looks familiar also; maybe the lady from the Eurogliders?
I echo the comment below......brilliant read!
nice. good old JCC
The guy is hilarious loved it when he Supported #TheFall
Funny Enough Pope JP2 would do that . And he was running that place in that years
noble price for telling jokes... it's jcc!
Nobel Prize. A noble price is something completely different.
Haha!! Beautiful
Love ya John. xxx
Brilliant
Brilliant shaggy dog story
