Roy Chubby Brown gig cancelled in Sheffield . Right wingers call it censorship.

[krtek a houby]

Wrong on all counts.

You're a wrong 'un and all cunt.

"Jim Davidson is great, the poor are lazy bla bla bla."

Just piss off and splash one out for the Express or whatever, on how you've been cancelled.

“Not what I said”. And “not what I said”.

Cunt? Steady on mate

Ugh, you gaslighting trolling leaky fuckwad cunt ostrich piss bubble nut wank.

They are both competent comedians. You just don’t think they are funny.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

It amazes me that he even gets booked anywhere nowadays and it feels a bit rich for Sheffield City Trust to book him and then change their minds and say he "doesn't align with their values". I mean it's absolutely no secret what his act is.

Are we still talking about our nut-tightening "friend"?

Yes....although I see the thread has descended into some daft row.

Oh, that's just Spanner. He likes to save up his bile, then come and gob it at the "wokies". Only he hasn't got very much of it, and his targeting skills could use some work...

Ah shit sorry yes....I was talking about RCB.....bit slow on the uptake this morning

They both do nothing except gigs for willing fans these days. Neither is a particularly innovative comic. Both of them rely on offensive material that will get a laugh out of a certain kind of crowd (racism for Jim and saying 'cunt' a lot for Chubby) but wouldn't impress most people. I doubt either of them would get far in front of an audience that hadn't heard of them previously. Competent is pushing it.

 

[Spymaster]

I remembered him being shit in the 80s but couldn’t remember his schtick so I just YouTubed him. First gag I came across; “like Little Mix’s gynaecologist, I love my job”. Says all you need to know about him really.

I wouldn’t have him banned. Private venues are free to book and reject whoever they want. This venue cancelled him though, so why did they book him in the first place?

 

[Ax^]

Oh, that's just Dan. He likes to save up his bile, then come and gob it at the "wokies". Only he hasn't got very much of it, and his targeting skills could use some work...

cfy

[xenon]

I remember someone bringing a tape Walkman of chubby into school and making me listen to it, even at that age I could see it was total shit. Him and Jethro were big among certain early teens

Ha, similar. Exchanging Public Domain Amiga disks, with RCB clips on, amongst other shite.

Also the ubiquitous 25th generation tape copy of Kevin 'bloody' Wilson songs.

 

[Red Sky]

Always put him in a box with Kevin "Bloody" Wilson and/or the Macc Lads. Aimed at people who are still sat mentally at the back of the class twenty years after the fact.

The Macc Lads are a piss take though. As In they’re taking the piss out of people who are like that.

First time I ever saw Chubby Brown was in Sheffield in the 90’s. I was at my sister’s, and given how much he was being advertised in Viz at the time, we decided to rent a video of him one evening to watch and see what the fuss was about.

Nothing. Literally nothing. I think we made it halfway through the video without a single laugh before turning it off. The only thing that stuck in my head was how he downed a pint in one on the stage whilst the audience shouted “Go on Chubby”.

I think a part of me is still astonished at how a professional comedian could be so completely and utterly unfunny.

I did watch a YouTube of him from 2019 and his audience were laughing (I wasn't) so he does have fans. And in the 80s/90s he was releasing videos/dvds so must have made a few quid that way.

Yeh kind of... but the “joke” is a bit too sustained. But I got friends (from school again) who found their stuff funny and who are cool, they’re not as bad as rcb anyway

 

[Sweet FA]

So what,

so what, you boring little cunt.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Never been a fan of RCB particularly but used to take acid with his son (now deceased, RIP).

Another example is Alf Garnet who people hated (and some liked!) on the basis that they didn’t realise it was tongue in cheek. I guess that’s always the risk with that style of writing.

Yes, a lot of his phrases worked their way into insults.

The comedian who does Al Murray tells some funny stories about proper hard right types turning up at his gigs, then storming out stony-faced at the interval, when they realised the joke was on them.

If only they bothered to do some basic research on the writer.
