There's no irony with this 'comedian's' jokes, it's just straight up bigotry for bigots to guffaw at, and if that doesn't appeal to the owners of a venue then it's within their rights to deny them the stage.

But it's what they like to watch. Can't we just let them enjoy themselves? Why do we have to interfere in their lives and try to make their lives a little less pleasurable for them than it could be?

I hear what you're saying there, however, this is a public event, for the public. Nobody's own home comes into the equation. It's just a bit nasty to go around spoiling people's enjoyment, it's not very civilized. It's the opposite of inclusive, which I always thought you'd be against that?

an evening of comedy (not my cup of tea but folks like it) is in no way comparable with an aggressive drunk ruining a party ffs

In this case it's more like someone showing up to a party they weren't invited to and closing it down.

I have no interest in seeing Roy Chubby Brown, so I'm going to cry about it and ruin it for everyone else not buy a ticket and not go. Which is the solution everyone who doesn't like him should take.

its virtue signalling and tells us so much more about the vanity of this this hard-left councilor than it ever does about the comedian

It's the same as the council banning that old bloke from peeing with a placard against the labour party round his neck.

Yeah, and Leigh Francis is also actually Amanda Holden's nan and Keith Lemon.

Of course it's relevant. One doesn't (shouldn't) assume Leigh Francis "means" the things he says when he's in character as Keith or Nan or whoever, so why would you think Royston Basey isn't just trying to make people laugh?

Roy Chubby Brown is a fictional character played by an actor. He has a script and rehearses and wears a flying helmet. In real life his name is Royston Vasey, not Chubby Brown.

Both chubby & Manning are similar in their 'material', I don't like either of them ,and never found anything they do funny.
