Ive seen that clip before. Heard a rumour it was staged. I dunno about that clip.

I just saw the clip and thought it was funny and thought I'd post it. It didn't once cross my mind to think I wonder if this is a set up? It looked authentic enough to me.

Apparently the guy sitting next to her is a comedian too. Kind of explains his over the top facial expressions. :hee:

Brendan Burns tries too hard to be offensive imo So I wasnt surprised when I read the rumours. I dont know if it was a set up but with these two audience members both being comedians it wouldn't surprise me.

[GiRTh]

Confirmed. Staged.

In this show, I staged a racist argument between two plants in the audience – an Indian actress (Sajeela Kershi) and her partner (Steve McNeal) – and me, simultaneously satirising hypocrisy and bigotry.

The back story for Sajeela's character was that she turns up to the show specifically to be offended by everything I say, because she has seen a poster with me mocked up in different guises depicting what we in comedy would call "the big four". (We wouldn't, in fact, but then we would never refer to ourselves as "The New Offenders" either, as we were so neatly monikered on Monday.)These guises were:

1 Me as Christ on the cross.

2 Me in a wheelchair.

3 Me in a fairy outfit.

4 Me in black makeup, dressed as a Zulu. These posters were a huge part of the set-up to the final punchline. The title of the show itself was a little winking giveaway that not all was as it seemed. The poster showed me * saying in cartoon speech blurb, while rolling my eyes: "So I Suppose THIS is Offensive Now!"

Contrary to Logan's contention that 10 years ago I would not have got away with "blacking up" (no mention of the other images, I might add), the actual reason no one has complained about the marketing of the show is that the butt of the joke is people who thought the images weren't offensive. In the show's final reveal, we discover that . . . no, wait, I've explained too much. And anyway, you can see the whole thing for yourself on YouTube: type in Brendon Burns versus Heckler.

Well I'm glad I posted this now, because I didn't know that story.

[GiRTh]

Yeah its a good vid. Weird that it stopped there cuz there are other versions that show the two plants on stage dancing.:laugh:

At about 4.10. Read the comments. Some people clearly didnt like the end:joker:

[Withano]

Pretty good actors, the three of them! I believed it!... can't quite work out what the point of it was even though he explained it abo 20 times.

[Marsh.]

Quite obviously staged. Was there even a question? :joker:

[Parmy]

Hardly a commedian.

[Alf]

Quite obviously staged. Was there even a question? :joker:I did answer your question here but a moderator deleted it.

So I'll just say, "yes" there was a question. I hope that's not to offensive an answer?

There you go mod, you got the answer you wanted and not the answer I wanted to give.


By the way Marsh my first answer wasn't anything bad, I was just mimicking your post (which wasn't deleted, and rightly so). But some members are treat differently on here.



Awaits this to be deleted because it shows up the mod, and we can't have that can we?


What the Hell am I doing here? I don't belong here.

QA3Xb-mPiH0Here is the full show. It's quite challenging to watch even though I think ultimately it doesnt quite do what it sets out to do.

[ChristmasNeeve]

No!

I don't have a problem with that kind of thing being staged. People pay to be entertained, and it is entertaining.

I don't know what in the hell you are talking about. You seem to take everything as an attack and lash out.
