Trans Mania: Graham Linehan is an Obsessive Transphobe

[PlanktonSideburns]

Yea not much between these comedians and just asking the office twat to pipe up, apart from projection and mic technique

[frajer]

I'm here to chew ham and eat ass and I'm all out of ham.

[lazyhour]

Megalol at Lewis Schaffer being on the Unleashed bill. Of course he is. I know things about this guy, and his slide to the 'anti-woke' right makes perfect, hilarious sense. This is a guy who used to share bills with the likes of Stewart Lee.

Lewis Schaffer ... I know things about this guy ...

it would be cruel not to elaborate

[lazyhour]

it would be cruel not to elaborate

And yet, elaborate I shan't.

Did you read the article? He did that weird-ass show for a reason.

[Catalogue Trousers]

Aaaaaand he's now shouting at AOC.

Dear Christ, he may as well just say that he's a far-right misogynist wanker and have done with it. I may even have the tiniest iota of respect for him if he does, bur he'll sitll be a cunt gone bananas.

[QDRPHNC]

"Just the name Hamas – they don't eat ham, and they don't eat ass – I've been saying that"

[jobotic]

I don't get why Andrew Doyle keeps using that photo. He looks like one of those guys who stands at the back of the club and stares angrily at young women.

"Looks like"

[TommyTurnips]

And yet, elaborate I shan't.

Did he win the runner-up prize in a Jeffrey Epstein look alike competition?

[Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse]

GL will be gutted he's not on this bill

Who does the Hitler impersonator think he is, Simon Fierce?

[Off On A Tandem]

Urgh Elaine Miller. Proper Salt of the Earth Says it Like it is, Allied Health Professional who gets wheeled out as some kind of medical professional voice of authority on trans healthcare. Couldn't work out how to format a word document as requested for parliament, had a tantrum and went full banana.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[RicoMNKN]

Surely no one wants to see 8 comedians in one night, even if they weren't all shit and limited to the same few subjects Andrew Doyle will let them talk about.

[SpiderChrist]

Who does the Hitler impersonator think he is, Simon Fierce?

Just watched a clip of Frank Sanarzi (YSWHDT? 'mazing). Fucking hell. And not in a good way.

[dissolute ocelot]

So she's not even a comedian? But then right-wing comedy isn't even really comedy, it's 'wow my views are being totally validated'.

Elaine Miller just to do humorous talks on female health topics, I saw her once at a Skeptics in the Pub type thing before she went crazy. I guess if you have to listen to a humorous talk about female incontinence she's not the worst. But as a physio at least that was slightly related to her expertise and qualifications, unlike gender etc.

[Kankurette]

Skeptics. Of course. (Didn't loads of TERFs come out of skeptic circles?)

[DreadedScotsman]

Spending a lot of money, commiting genocide same thing really

Linehan and Rowling think Twitter is brilliant, partly because they think they can despatch people with these wonderful, concise little bon mots. They clearly see themselves as social media raconteurs who can spit out endless Dorothy Parker-style acerbic putdowns and witticisms. 

But they're both fucking shite at it.  Just two nasty pissed up social media wankers. 

[Armin Meiwes]

Also, as with a lot of high profile women (particularly on the left) she gets so many death and rape threats from deranged misogynists that of course she has to have security. For a man who likes to throw around accusations of misogyny as much as Graham you'd think he'd be a bit more understanding of that but of course he's quite comfortable with death and rape threats if they're aimed at women he disagrees with.

[Armin Meiwes]

Surely even he can see the difference between "defending yourself" and killing tens of thousands of mostly innocent people but again none of that really matters when there are serious issues to deal with like transwomen coming 15th in park runs.

Betting that he's more Freddie Starr.

Ah yes, Dorothy Parker and her famous, acidic bon mots:

'Ha ha, I've got LOTS of money and you haven't!'
'Beard!'
'Groomer!'
'Shut UP! Fuck OFF!'

Setting the table on a roar at the local Wetherspoon's, there

Just watched a clip of Frank Sanarzi (YSWHDT? 'mazing). Fucking hell. And not in a good way.

Lamentably I did the same. Googled him out of morbid curiosity and ended up watching a few mins of his most recent stand up.

Fucking hell, indeed. Notably he asks the audience to raise their hands (can't remember why) to get them to do Nazi salutes LOL but there's a bloke near the front who keeps his hand in the air for fucking ages. Can't believe his luck.

[selectivememory]

That Frank Sanazi, I'm not going to look up his act, but just seeing that poster, I can't believe he's real and not a joke about what kind of comic would appear at a right wing stand-up night. It's like something from a Wimblewrong shot. Fucking Christ.

[Better Midlands]

Zis guy is one helluva gas

[king_tubby]

Seems a tad antisemitic, that.

[lazyhour]

Fuck. Ing. Hell.

Then goodness that cancelling isn't real or she'd be gone for that.

I saw that poster when I just woke up this morning and felt like a glincel who had just seen a moley photoshop.  "is... is it real, or...?"

[checkoutgirl]

Just watched a clip of Frank Sanarzi (YSWHDT? 'mazing). Fucking hell.

Fucking heil?

[PaulTMA]

Dankula with his fucking dog on the poster, as if it's Nookie Bear or the like.  Is it actually part of his act, or he has he just got it there as if to say 'lol yeah, remember me from this'?  One would have grounds to complain if not.

Yes, very much how I've seen JKR's Twitter persona for years. Used to spend large parts of her days fishing for crown emojis.
