00:00You are apparently a rowdy, rowdy bunch, you North West England types.
00:06More for the comedian who tries to stave off the heckling for fear of a stage invasion.
00:10That apparently happens.
00:13That's according to data published by Ticketmaster in their State of Play UK comedy report, which
00:18brought up some interesting information about the types of humour that play well in different
00:22areas of the United Kingdom, so stand up comics, take note.
00:28Those in Scotland are said to enjoy a bit of the old blue humour compared to other areas
00:32of the UK, yet have also shown to think that a joke about poop, yes poop, is perhaps the
00:40unfunniest thing one could have in a stand up routine, but evidently not a video.
00:45Those in Yorkshire are said not to be fans of sexual humour in comparison to the rest
00:49of the UK, while those in Wales enjoy a more localised humour, with 87% of Southerners
00:56thinking local humour is just absolutely awful.
01:01Those in the South West admit to being fans of humour so intense that it's guaranteed
01:06to have you crying in your seats, with the North East of England having found to be fans
01:11of laughing at inappropriate moments, but like I said at the start of the video, you
01:26North Western fans of comedy know exactly what you like.
01:30The area is considered the most likely place to have fans heckle comedians, with 11% stating
01:36that they also enjoy when someone crashes the stage during a set.
01:41Don't get any ideas.
01:46In terms of the overall favourite comedians in the UK, when people asked to name their
01:52favourite off the top of their head, three names came out on top, Lee Evans, Michael
01:57McIntyre and Peter Kay, and those three names also represented the comedians that people
02:03believe bring families together, with Michael McIntyre coming out on top, Peter Kay coming
02:08second and Lee Evans coming in third.
