Nothing but respect for the Sheffield City Trust, the people were concerned and they rightfully nixed it

They are making trouble.

I saw him live before a few years back and he’s mostly just crude in his offensiveness. No race/sexuality jokes came up that I recall.

Wasn’t anywhere near as bad as Jimmy Carr or Frankie Boyle when I saw them. How they get away with some of their material and manage to sustain careers on TV I’ll never know.

Thank you for helping Slim and Dezzy.

What if the some other people were concerned about a gay pride event, should those people have the equal amount of power as these people, to cancel the event. Or should those people have less power?

Homophobes shouldn't be given power, you shouldn't need to be told that.

The generation who claim and virtue signal how inclusive they are, always seem to be cheering on someone being excluded.

That's why your politics always gets trounced at the ballot box.

Why, what has happened that was homophobic?

Maybe these hypophetical people want it cancelled for reasons that arne't homophobic. Maybe the organiser of it uses vulgar language like Chubby Brown does. If that's a legitimate reason to exclude Chubby, then surely it's a legitimate reason to cancel any event?

Rather perhaps it would be good to have a performance, on the night he was due to
appear, by the amazing range of talented musicians, comics and performers, who have
made their lives in Sheffield from abroad, whether as refugees or migrants. That would be
real talent, not cheap hate.

Sure, the day any of that hypothetical in your head actually happens we'll make sure pride is cancelled if that makes you feel better?

It's not about making me feel better, I feel great already. it's about making life fair for everyone, and shining a light on the tyrants and bullies in our society.

[Mystic Mock]

Thanks to the members that have explained the situation to me.

My opinion from what I'm hearing here is let him still do the gig, but maybe dial down the more controversial jokes.

Imo Comedy is meant to be shocking to some extent, obviously I probably need to see one of his gigs to tell if he is more of a Seth MacFarlane or more of a Jim Davidson where the latter does genuinely come across as very intolerant of certain groups of people.

But if it's more of a Seth MacFarlane routine then the Sheffield Venue would be out of order.

Nice to hear from someone who has actually been to a live show...!

I don't think many would disagree with that? However pride events not getting shut down because of scenarios that haven't even happened isn't a genuine example of unfairness.

But sometimes in life you have to use hypophetical situations to explain your point. It's not a bad thing, it's just a method of explaining something.

You should be banned from the town of Morecambe for that comment.
