I’ve no idea what I’d going on in that photo. My brain did immediately see the Baron from Lynch’s Dune, however.

All I see is that Sam Smith really let himself go. All that money and access to personal trainers. Let himself go or not feeling pressured to conform to a particular body type because he's famous?

It's almost as if a pop artist like this makes these kind of videos to purposefully piss off these people and get their name and song out there in general public attention as being too controversial. I wouldn't have learned about their video if not for them clutching their handbags screaming about the downfall of society.

Same for his last one. I literally only heard ‘unholy’ because someone I follow on Twitter was laughing at a tweet wetting themselves about it.

I'm not going to criticise Smith, I don't really care either way - actually, if that kind of imagery is something they feel artistically and personally satisfied with, good for them. Still think their music is shit.
I'm mostly just really sad that Glinner is free to post bollocks now. The utter cunt.

Unfortunately you don't actually need to be funny these days, you just need to declare yourself anti-woke and / or hate on trans people for 30 minutes and you'll get enough of a crowd to make money.

Can't be that much money/crowd considering I've never heard of anyone else on that bill or the comedy club in Bethnal Green it's on at.
It's part of that whole "they're not cancelled" thing as they can put on these performances just no fucker will go.

You'd think that for all these people complain about lefty tactics that they would be a bit more aware that by complaining about the Sam Smith video, they've just bought into and become willing participants of the marketing of it.

I don't think they'll be making shit loads of money or selling out venues anytime soon, but I genuinely think Glinner would be able to draw a crowd big enough to break even. That they can draw any crowd at all is dissapointing.

That they can draw any crowd at all is dissapointing. Why? David Icke is a fucking lunatic and he's consistently gotten a crowd to live off of for decades. It's just a fact of life. I'm sure Roy Chubby Brown did it as well, it just wasn't important.

Chubby Brown still plays the same big theatres most tv comedians play.
Icke being an arena act has always felt totally insane. Especially when the gigs are 4-6 hours long.

"He called the description ‘smears and lies’, telling The Mail On Sunday: ‘I’m incredibly angry about being painted like this. I’ve been cast as anti-trans and bigoted and it feels like basically there’s nothing I can do about it.’"
However in the same breath...
"In the last 24 hours Linehan has tweeted that ‘there is no such thing as "non-binary"’ that ‘there is no such thing as "cis" people’ and retweeted a post saying that ‘not only does transgenderism force homosexuality on straight people, it also forces heterosexuality on gay people.’"
Remember guys, he isn't anti-trans, nor is he a bigot. He is however a fucking moron.

Oh curse you, as I now went and looked it up: www.roychubbybrown.biz/events/Yeah 02 Apollo Manchester is a big place, but most of that list is random shit holes and end of pier gigs which is where I kinda expected him. Though none seem to be in London so I've probably just not noticed. The Brierly Hill one made me laugh though as that's just the back of Merry Hill shopping centre. These people will always have some kind of a career doing working men's clubs and pier venues, moaning about how they used to be on TV, but they're fundamentally irrelevant and shit, rather than cancelled. Like if it turned out Babylon Zoo were somehow still making albums and doing the pub circuit.

Property I think. It was in an article I read ages ago after assuming he was doomed to scratching a living to half empty pubs. Plus he’s got the Brexit and anti-vax crowds sewn up now too.
Rory McGrath got done for being a sexpest, didn’t he?

Christ. He really shouldn't have made the effort of putting photos of the venues on that page. That's not a good look

Hurst bought some land for a comedy club in the east end of London in the 90s. I went there back in the day, it was huge for a comedy club and a shit hole (which admittedly was part of its charm).
He apparently developed the site to have a hotel on it, and the way property prices went round there I'm sure he's done more than alright.

Oh so he's a multi-millionaire in the way anyone I meet who bought a house in London in the 80s/90s is a fucking millionaire.

What's rather telling about the Chubby Brown "tour" is that it's not really a tour but sporadic gigs at weekends.
If you look at the dates, he's doing a Friday in somewhere like Rotherham and then Saturday in Essex. There's also a number of repeat venues.
Speaking as someone who's booked tours (although on a much smaller scale) it suggests one of/ all of several things:
1 - he's struggling to get bums on seats midweek (compare to a popular comedian who can get people out on a Mon-Thurs)
2 - he's struggling for venues or promoters that work on a national or even regional level
3 - he's having to do some kind of midweek work to keep things going

4 - he’s a near 80 year old millionaire who has been at it for nearly 50 years and his core audience gets smaller every year as they die of old age

Hogwarts Legacy hard confirmed to have a trans character in the game. Pretty funny for those buying multiple copies of the game purely to make a statement. Good job, you voted with your wallet for more trans representation! I've a feeling this was not approved by JK and so I can absolutely see her tweeting about this and making it a complete shitshow cause she's that pathetic.

There was a trans character on Vera last night and Vera made a point of calling her a lass the whole way through. I bet that’s upset a few people.
