Fringe Benefits Unpleasance

Championing free speech and differing views by shutting stuff down.

What kind of roaster buys tickets for a show of this type then gets offended?

As to the venue, spineless, pompous and in any event, not all that.

never heard of him...

the venue does and should have the right to cancel his shows if they want to but the rest of us also have the right to call them big old chestfeeding babies for dressing themselves up as edgy and then crying as soon as the edge hits them!

Not everyone that goes to see a show is already a big fan or has researched the act thoroughly.

Some people see an advert and think, that looks interesting - edgy controversial comedy - I like a bit of that, let's buy a ticket.

They're then presented with something so far beyond what they were expecting they can hardly believe it's legal.

It doesn't make them stupid to complain under those circumstances.

not liking it is one thing tomus but complaining is another…

They have every right to do that of course but if they did it for no reason other than finding the show distasteful then they are big titty-munching babies

We don't actually know what he did untitled. I wouldn't rush to judge people until I did.

Knowing his reputation, I suspect 'extreme racism and misogyny' is describing something other than Bernard Manning style immigrant and mother in law jokes.
