It is a well known rule of comedy that there is a fine line between mockery and humiliation, and Balls of Steel is a show that is definitely standing on the wrong side. Usually I have a quite a good sense of humour, and have no qualms about watching someone receive a few good natured pokes in the ribs, shows like 8 out of 10 cats and Have I Got News For You being good examples of quality comedic banter, but Balls of Steel is just...juvenile. The series consists of a long line of amateur comedians, who attempt to win the 'Balls of Steel' trophy by proving how metallic their nethers really are, mainly by irritating members of the public and hosting a ...  Read the complete review

Presented by Mark Dolan, this late night Channel 4 comedy is totally hit and miss, the idea is for varying comedians to do things which are outrageous, the studio audience then vote on who has balls of steel.

Another act is tv presenter and Dj Alex Zane who presents a made up quiz show, he winds contestants up by questioning them, ensuring they can't ...  Read the complete review

If there was one word I could describe this show with it'd be CRAZY, because this show does what no other comedy show has ever done it plays rude, obnoxious, ridiculing jokes on members of the public. The show has different guest which do different things and these are the comedians: Alex Zane: who makes up his own hilarious game shows and the contestants are always doomed to loose and sometimes get angry and frustrated. Annoying devil: he is the most annoyingest person in the world, he does stunts such as throw water out of the window on people woem who get thier hair done and they really get wound up and start throwing fits.
