Thanks for that 🙏

When Ponds Forge does open, maybe Chubby Brown should get himself down there. He looks like he could do with some exercise. And a wash.

He's not being banned from performing at the city Hall then? 

He can still appear can he? 

You talk like they have no choice in who they can book or cancel the booking of.  None of the acts there have a right to perform there, it's a business transaction and both parties in that transaction will have agreed a contract that includes caveats, clauses and compensation for things like cancellation of that transaction by one of the parties within that contract. SCT decided that the money they could potential make from his booking didn't outweigh the potential reputational damage of hosting an openly racist comedian so they invoked the cancellation clause of the contract.

 

He's not banned at all. He can perform his act wherever he can find someone willing to host him. The fact that he's still working today is evidence that there are plenty of places that are less choosy about the kinds of people they want to associate their businesses with. What he doesn't have (and this is something that those who throw around nonsense phrases like 'Cancel Culture' like to ignore) is an automatic right to perform his act wherever he wants regardless of whether those venues want him or not. He can perform in whatever places will take him and if that doesn't include the top venues in the city then boo bloody hoo, there's always Wetherspoons.

Yes he is. 

He's banned from performing his act at the city Hall. 

He was scheduled to appear. Some fragile snowflake didn't like it so they got the act pulled.

What absolute drivel. He was already booked by the venue and has been for many years in the past. They decided to cancel after someone or a group of entitled people decided to complain about something that they have no interest in, 

[tinfoilhat]

It's not like he's suddenly turned into a racist, sexist arse - that's his brand. If he'd suddenly come out with something particularly unpleasant - like Andrew Lawrence did - then I can see why they'd bin him off. Smaller venues have to be quiet careful on who they book, I don't think bigger ones like the city hall do - they aren't going to get boycotted any time soon. 

[pattricia]

Why not just let him carry on entertaining the people who like his act ? 

[Ant68]

On the one hand they talk about ‘Sheffields inclusive values’ and things being ‘Inclusive’ - what about the rights and inclusivity of the people that DO enjoy his humour? Are they not part of Sheffields society??

 

Its like when one of the well known soap operas airs something that 20 million people watch - 5 people moan about it, and the next thing there’s an apology on prime time TV, its never aired again and the whole program is then put under scrutiny - pathetic.

 

As others have already said - dont like it, dont go.

 

I feel better now lol
