I'm not sure how many Americana are familiar with the very funny, and the hilarity of comedian Kathy Burke. My first experience with her was of course on Absolutely Fabulous, who played Patsy's fast-talking, power lunching, Cockney-accented magazine editor Magda. Here she is as Magda along with two of her other clips from shows, that get me howling with laughter every time.
From Psychobitches....
From Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie...
I know just how Linda La Hughes feels. I had mornings like that the day after some of my South American boys have visited.
Oh, that last clip -- AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteI HOWLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea!
DeleteOMG!!! I laughed so loudly the dog woke up and barked!! Great start to the week, sweetpea! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes.. those three Clips made me laugh so hard I knew I had to share them
DeleteI should know.
ReplyDeleteOh, naughty, naughty. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme... sigh. That's the day after an outing with my Mister Fister... oh, he tries, he does.... but his hands are too large... (as is his...). And that is one of my fave Ab Fab episodes. Never heard of Psycho Bitches... please tell me there's more and where to find 'em. Kizzes, love. We've all been there, done that!
ReplyDeleteI usually buy the rubber rings by the Dozen.
DeleteGimme gimme gimme, so outrageous !
ReplyDeleteAnd they say we British are uptight.🇬🇧
I've long loved Kathy Burke. So damned funny in so many parts! Sooo funny her walk after the night before had me in stiches ! I have no doubt you too sat on a rubber ring the next day.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!!!! She was so funny as Magda on AdFab....but really so funny in everything she does. American sitcoms are not near as funny or smartly done as the Brit comedies.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite piece of all time, from a wonderfully hilarious show..........shame it's not repeated. Did Kathy ever not do a bit that wasn't hilariously funny???
ReplyDeleteKathy Burke is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteKathy as the Queen Mum!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard at these clips I almost wet myself!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is a hoot! I would love to be able to see the whole series to Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie.
ReplyDeleteWhen I came across the last one I was right there with you I was laughing so hard.
DeleteGimme, Gimme, Gimme is just so funny. I suppose it wouldn't be politically correct these days.
ReplyDeleteKathy Burke is so talented and far underrated.
We could all use a few more laughs! X
I think we should need more Politically Incorrect shows now, but I know people in the US are so uptight they got sticks up their ass.
DeleteYou are very wise, Mistress.
DeleteI adore Kathy Burke - such a brilliant woman! Over here, she's often described as a "national treasure". And yes, "Linda La Hughes" is a fantastic comic creation - we often quote her. Jx
ReplyDeletePS She lives just around the corner from where I work in Islington, so she's often seen around. I once bumped into her (and her dogs) in Old Compton Street, shopping in a little electrical and lighting shop that used to be there, opposite the gay pub The Admiral Duncan.
She has always had me in stitches with fits of laughter.
DeleteKathy Burke is one of a kind. Love her!
ReplyDeleteROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could all use more politically incorrect these days.
ReplyDeleteI love a British sense of humor and a bawdy one at that.
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember her from AbFab but those other clips are new to me. The one with the royals is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI loved AbFab, and both of these women, back in the day when Bravo was more like a British channel than a reality TV wasteland.
ReplyDeleteYes...how bravo has fallen.
DeleteLove her to bits and I am so pleased you like Psychobitches It's so fab but slipped under the radar for many people.
ReplyDelete...and never ever released on DVD, more's the pity. I've been looking out for it for years. Jx
