This is weird. In no part of my life have I met anyone in the last 20 years who thinks telling racist jokes is acceptable never mind entertaining.

I’m no snowflake or easily offended. I’m not for banning anything. But I’m not being ‘politically correct’ pointing out that telling a joke about ‘niggers’ is racist and not acceptable.

The lack of response to the article posted about the guy attending a gig speaks volumes.

Also, I have zero doubt that if you stood on a street corner with a megaphone and read out a transcript of a Roy chubby brown gig, you wouldn’t have your guns for much longer.

Read this. And if you're not embarrassed by, and for him I'd be very surprised. I find a lot of things hilariously funny, but there's a line. This guy wasn't even funny in his hey-day.

I Was the Only Brown Person at Britain's Most Racist Comedy Show

Racist Roy 'Chubby' Brown's Gig is arguably UK's most controversial comedian. I went to one of his sold-out gigs to see if there was more to the stand-up show than an old racist man making old racist jokes.

@Woodsmoke I’ve just read it and yes the guy is a total tart but you’ve called most of the people on this thread misogynistic racist homophobes for standing up for free speech, seems hypocritical when just yesterday you yourself was hurling insults at an ethnic minority. I’m no fan of travellers but you was saying the only way to sort them animals out was a series of shallow graves. Some of the things you said and agreed with were no worse than Roy chubby brown.

This.Its an act for god's sake.He's made a pretty penny to boot .Good on him and may he have the right to say what he pleases . You don't have to agree with his material .but to gag him because he offends? Come on.thats the whole point of his shows.
 
Having arrived from Ireland as a family in the late fifties. I remember growing up watching the tripe being ripped out of the Paddy's, by the likes of Spike Milligan, Monty Python, the comedians etc. Our family thought it was hilarious. I personally was not offended but could always give as much as I took. Urine taking is one of life's levelers. My dad god bless him used to always say if there were no Paddys there were no English comedians. Surely Paddys must be the only nation that has had a book published about the Irishmans joke book about Kerrymen. Lighten up folks.

Humour often treads a very fine line. Right up to the line can be very, very funny. Over the line is no longer funny, and the sort of people who find it funny are generally not very intelligent or likeable individuals.

So who draws the line. My line may be farther to the right or to the left of yours. So it's only you who judges whether someone is not very intelligent or likeable? Where we draw the line is a individual thing.
 
I'm pleased this thread has lightened a little. Listen to him and you will laugh, then you will stop and think .... wow that was close. He talks and jokes about anything and everything, some I laugh at, some I don't and think that was poor. However, I have never thought he, or anyone else should be banned. The guy has a lot of fans.
Imagine, he's on stage in front of a full house, some folk laughing, some crying, then in come the judgement police to arrest everyone there. They are all guilty, because they are there.
That can never be right, but listening and reading what people are saying about this guys fans, some would consider this the way to be.
I worry more about that scenario than any joke.

Yes, we all draw our own line for personal taste, and everyone has different likes and dislikes. I wouldn't judge someone simply for that. But there is definitely a point beyond which is a step too far by any reasonable person's standards. Whether this Chubby fellow oversteps the mark and deserves his ban I can't say as I'd never heard of him before this thread, but it does sound like he's running pretty close.
