Like a fool I agreed to go out with some friends to a pub where there was to
be a comedian. The comedian came on and his first line was "Are there any
****in' Pakis in here? If so, **** off!" After that the act went downhill.
He went on to insult every ethnic group in the world, women, homosexuals,
the pub, the town, the people behind the bar, and each member of the
audience (individually). His joke telling was **** poor, and I would not
have believed that anyone could attempt to earn a living as a comedian when
they were not intelligent enough to tell jokes properly.

What a waste of an evening.

There was a pub in North London and the owner wanted a comedian, a new act,
fresh ideas etc. He heard that a young comic in Iraq was filling halls with
a wonderful act. He flew out and sure enough the young comic had the
audiences laughing their heads off. The publican gave him a contract and the
first night in North London was a sell-out, people splitting their sides,
etc. After the show the young comic asked if he could ring his mum. "Mum,
had a wonderful time the audience, the media everyone was after me, what a
wonderful opening night. How are you? How am I? Terrible, your father went
out and was shot and robbed, your sister and I were gang raped. "Oh mum, I'm
so sorry." "Sorry, Sorry, It's your fault we moved to North London."

Maybe you missed the irony in the performance Bill? Wasn't he performing
the actions of a deranged character? One that the audience should have
taken the **** out of... but due his poor performance that night,
probably going over the top and maybe getting some sympathy from some
BNP nutters in the crowd, the type of humor so well done by Alf Garnet
(Warren Mitchell) didn't present itself.

How many hecklers were present? Did they have enough beer to drink
before the performance started?

There was one heckler at the start, who objected to the (totally unfunny)
racism. The heckler walked out. Maybe we should have done the same, but I
was a sort of invited guest of the people I was with and it would have

The pub/club would have told him to stop it, people would have left if they
were offended. Those who might have chosen to stay must be idiots - if any
of that even happened. Going by other posts I don't think I can believe a

But did anybody laugh? Nothing gets a "comedian" off stage quicker than an
audience that looks the other way. If enough of the audience joined him in
his puerile attempt at being funny then there would have been no stopping
him. Unfortunately (I assume) there were enough similarly-inclined bigots
in the crowd to feed him. A mass walk-out is the only cure, I'm afraid.
Not only does it send a strong message to the performer but also to the dozy
landlord that booked him - hitting him where it hurts the most - in his
pocket. Doubt he'd do it again.......

Well in fact there was an incident which happened because I couldn't stand
it any longer and I got involved. I decided not to report it because my
original post was brought about by a feeling of dispair about the evening
and also it would have taken a lot of explaining, and I was tired. The other
problem is that there's no way I can tell it without sounding like I'm
blowing my own trumpet. But having told a few people about the evening
verbally without feeling like a ****, maybe I'll tell the tale.

Well, you know, it was rather odd, and I think it said something about the
British working class's confusion about PC and racism. They did laugh, to
some extent, actually much more than the jokes deserved. I think it was
because racism has been proscribed by the ruling and chattering classes, so
there was an element of naughtiness about it. It was really rather like
schoolkids laughing at bad jokes about sex, because it was naughty. There
was an air of shared naughtiness. I think a lot of people have dual morality
here, like the arms dealer in Pygmalian who kept his two moralities in
watertight compartments. The live and work with Asians and negros and get on
with them, but they will go to a pub and laugh at poor racist comedy
material.

The comedian was even more offensive about things other than race. He was
appalling about disability and mental health. The odd thing, though, is that
the material he used there was broadcastable, despite being grossly
offensive. As a result it wasn't as well received as the racist material.
That says something about the ruling/chattering classes extreme sensitivity
to race issues as against other discrimination issues, and possibily about
how counter-productive it is.

Was it part of a chain, or an indie?

I'm interested because my son's just taken over a pub in SW Sheffield,
and if oyur one is part of the same chain his area manager will be very

There is an element of society that feels that they need to laugh at this
sort of humour - even if they aren't really racist - because it still seems
necessary to do so to keep face with the peer group. In all probability
most of the peer group would rather not condone the humour, but who is going
to be first to reject it? I actually walked out on a bunch of mates the
other night when the racist jokes got too much, being accused at the time of
being a miserable old git. However, since then they at least recognise that
I don't like them and apologise up front before they roll them out. One
small step....................

You challenged Bill - now I'm challenging you.

Bill has asked anyone to email him and he will provide the details of the
evening.

Do this, verify the veracity (go look it up) of Bill's post and then post an
apology to Bill and this group.

If you don't, we'll know for sure, that you're a bigger ****** than can
possibly be conveyed by your charmless, bone-headed posts.
