I think people should know exactly what kind of a person this bloke is and i have therefore provided documentary evidence. I thank all the other contributors for their rational and considered responses
2 questions hr Why did you not criticise or distance yourself from the things the comedian said. Just putting a post as you did could be seen as advertising the thing. How can you quote someone else's racist language and Not to be said to be using racist language yourself?
It was perfectly clear what hr's intentions were. Everybody else picked up exactly what he was pointing out. Except you.
You messed up right at the start by getting it hugely wrong. This has been pointed out to you countless times. So now you have changed tack because you know you've made yourself look a tad foolish. The new 'tack' is not serving you well either.
Everything else aside, is this bloke what we want associated with BFC? I thought we were looking to be forward thinking, family embracing. It makes me wince just to see on google that he's appearing at the Legends Suite. I'd like to think it's a long standing booking and not something we'd repeat in the future.
You do realise that if you were in court you would hear all kinds of filth being repeated, by educated law graduates no less? Repeating something to prove a point is not even in the same league as saying those words because you mean them. Sort yourself out.
i think the simple answer is, if you dont like him then dont go, if you find him funny then knock yourself out and have a great night,its a free country ( most of the time) personally i find him as funny as a scrotal cyst but horses for courses
its a club turn once in a blue moon that someone like him appears its not like a nuremberg rally, i mean if you put a couple of drag acts on somebody would complain about the club promoting homosexuality. just live and let live
And those people would be idiots, just like anyone who thinks it's appropriate or a good idea for an inclusive, community club to host a racist comedian.
Between us Trev.. We've worked with one or two over the years who would pass as scrotal cysts .. Lol...
