There must be a List of UK Comedy Men (who are gay)
they can post,

[Black Dagger]

I think I have got it.

Always thought the person in question was quite funny as well.

[Marsh.]

It's Jim's fault.

:umm2:

[Loukas]

the only 2 gay comedians i can think of on the spot are Alan Carr and Graham Norton but i can't see either of them doing it!

does he have a hair net on?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Why not just arrest all gay comedians and then they will at least have the culprit. It will be sad for the innocent ones that go to jail but thems the breaks.

im gonna simply ignore this foolishness tbh. A white man with short brown hair and brown eyes rapes a woman, so the only way of catching the guy is catching all straight men with short brown hair and brown eyes, of course!

[Marsh.]

does he have a hair net on?

:laugh:

[Jack_]

How was it 'grooming'? They were in a legal and consensual relationship. Typical Mail homophobia :rolleyes:

Did some research though and I didn't even know the comedian in question was gay, how baffling

[Marsh.]

Who is it?

[Jack_]

I'm not sure if it can be said on here for legal reasons? If you type Ben Cowburn into the Twitter search box though it'll tell you

His Twitter account is still active as well which is quite disturbing

[Black Dagger]

People are going to lap it up and want his head on a stick ffs.

[Shaun]

Eddie Izzard is straight...

Stephen K Amos: 'I don't want to be labelled "the black gay comic"'

Of Course It may Not Be Him

[armand.kay]

I don't get it what did the comedian in question do that's illegal wasn't the boy 18?

[Marsh.]

I don't get it what did the comedian in question do that's illegal wasn't the boy 18?

I don't think they're saying that having a relationship was illegal are they?

From what I've gathered he just took advantage of a naive person, got him involved in some illegal activities (drugs etc), treated him appallingly resulting in his suicide.

But I could be wrong. Of course the Daily Mail are using it to emphasise the gay angle.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Hey if Barrymore can get away with bodies bobbing about in his pool I'm guessing whoever it is will be on the next CBB.

Yes B94

[Vanessa]

Yes B94

It was him then! :eek:

[Firewire]

HAHAHA OMFG

i just realised that it made me sound incredibly racist omfg

[Livia]

I'm a bit unclear about this whole thing. Someone was treated badly and committed suicide. The fact that the person who treated them badly was famous means... what? It means that their career can be ended by the media in a way that would never happen if he was, say, a banker or a dustman. If he wasn't famous, I wonder if the word "groomed" would have been used, with or without inverted commas.

I think it's more than that, Livia. Something serious must have happened for the boy to feel suicidial.

How do you know that though? People are filling in the gaps in the story with their own imagination. And once again I ask, would it be in the media if the person involved wasn't famous, and why is the word "grooming" being used.

I just don't think you'd feel that low without something really bad happening. I just want to know what happened.

[Livia]

People feel low enough to take their own lives every day of the week, sadly. You don't need to know the details of all of them! People are only interested in this because the person involved may be a celebrity and it's salacious gossip.

It's just such a sad story. The boy was so young and had his whole life ahead of him.

Sadly, it's common. It's just as sad when there's no alleged celebrity involvement, and consequently no witch-hunt.

It's not his agent you need to worry about arista. It's his lawyer.

[Livia]

That's true. :(

It is sad though... his family must be in bits.

[Beso]

How unfunny of him.

[arista]

It's not his agent you need to worry about arista. It's his lawyer.


I checked his agent
they have a Legal man



So again
I must point out
it many not be him

He told a nurse that he was raped by a TV comic

[UserSince2005]

So who was it?

Steven K Amos?

how gross.

[Denver]

google the names together to tell you

[UserSince2005]

It seems like half of the problems are also the fact that it was a man that did this, had a women raped him would he have committed suicide. poor boy was probably very confused by his sexuality and that is why he let the celebrity take advances and ply him with drink. But society is still so unaccepting and so the shame was 100 times worse and he could cope. very sad story

[Denver]

No he was mentally ill and the person took advantage it has nothing to do with sexuality

[Firewire]

What a warped point of view you have

[Denver]

I dont get how it is a warped sense of mind? when i only putting what is in the media

[Withano]

google the names together to tell you

Ergh, I just did this and it came up with a tibb-like forum, but it was called godlikeproductions, and it was full of devout hetero christians. It was like some weird parallel universe. They titled this exact same thread 'Homosexuality got this kid killed. Gay "star" grooms teen who ends up committing suicide after feeling disgusted by the gay acts' and the users made posts about all lgbts being pedos. I hate the world sometimes!

Also, I don't think you have a warped idea of the story. I think its entirely plausible that his mental health and the treatment from the man that led to his suicide could be bi-directional. His mental health could have made his relationship worse, which in turn made his mental health worse, which made his relationship worse etc. Its a good theory.

[Withano]

Oh actually theyre not christians, theyre alien conspiracists. It was still weird though.

[Wizard.]

I know people who knew Ben but I didn't know much else

That comedian is creepy looking as **** and why would a teenager go near his old haggard ass? Guess hindsight is 20/20 RIP

I guess with mental illness it is easier to get attach to someone who says all the right things and easy to trust them

I would have kicked him in the balls and told him to piss off but that's just me I guess you're right.

[UserSince2005]

Steven K Amos is creepy as ****, I remember he did some documentary about penis size where he measured a load of rugby players and his own and he was very big and was so proud of it. Gross man. Poor Ben.
