I saw Gary Delaney last week , brilliant . Best stand up I’ve seen in years. Plenty of OTT material. 

Second only to the GOAT , Bernard Manning . 

Chubby Brown was in that same mould wasn’t he.

i sincerely hope that the joke was supposed to be that deep - to make people reflect on why it's still OK to hate on / laugh at gypsies even though they were also victims of the holocaust. It certainly didn't get taken that way but it does raise a good point - reflecting back on us the attitudes that drove the holocaust in the first place. 

Are we still dealing with gypsies on this thread?  I have rang the Council to see if we can move them on.

You're determined to make a gypsy joke and not be censored aren't you? ?

So we can’t say..

”What do you call a scouser in a suit?  
The accused!”

or

”What do you call a Mancunian who tells a Scouse joke?

An ambulance!”

Both of which were told me by a friend from Liverpool.

A mould's probably smarter.

I saw Gary Delaney recently, nothing like either Roy 'Chubby' Brown or Bernard 'Embassy Club' Manning.

This could literally be the death of comedy ?

You only have to look at the sheer number of comedians, actors/actressess, tv shows, movies, cartoon characters, etc that are being cancelled on a daily basis to see that as a society we're in a crisis atm.  Its going to get much worse before it gets better.

You were right all along - it's gone so far they have cancelled Tenacious D now!

I was so sad to see this. It was a very ill-advised comment by KG but this is very likely the end of the D now, which is such a shame. I’m so pleased I got to see them in Brum on this tour.
