Jim Davidson's Anti-Woke Panel Show

[Fambo Number Mive]

Just looking at the Tivoli Theatre website and they have a bucket collection at the end of shows in aid of the Ukraine Humanitarian appeal and ask people to please consider wearing a face covering. Will these nods to basic decency be regarded as "snowflakery" by the likes of Davidson?

[Gurke and Hare]

So the show will feature comedians across the political spectrum but won't be "woke" or "PC" or allow "snowflakes" - but don't people like Davidson claim the left are all "woke snowflakes" - so how will this work?

Don't waste your time thinking about it. There's no element whatsoever of good faith involved.

[petril]

If I suggested that Davidson should be fed into a woodchipper feet first, is that snowflakey?

if he doesn't genuinely chuckle at it and take it as a bit of banter, is Davidson a snowflake?

I remember John Moloney being on an episode of Asylum in the mid-90s but haven't seen much of him since. His website is excellent, though. Particularly the bottom of the home page, where somebody's pasted in the copy along with instructions to edit a different page, which haven't been followed.

I like ""A deeply enjoyable, hilarious evening relaxing in the sure hands of a total professional." ***** by John Christopher Wood" where it looks as if the STARS are asterisks, denoting an incredibly rude five letter word.

Did he used to crop up on rent-a-quote clip shows in the old days? I'm sure it was him on one about the 100 Best Kids TV Shows or something, where his critique of Black Beauty was memorably imbecilic. If it was him...

yeah they don't do long term thinking. they rarely consider anything after the phrase they're saying right now so nothing really fits together.

He added that no one will be 'cancelled for having an opinion' but that no-one he deems a 'snowflake' will be allowed in the audience

Don't know where to start.

"Vladimir Putin, top bunch of lads."

There is a lot of cognitive dissonance surrounding Ukraine support. Like people with Ukraine flags in their bio defending Matt Le Warcrime Denier.

I like how the Corporate References are different fonts and are obviously pasted from emails. And that the full address of the companies from their email footers are kept in.

And the Corporate References page has a pointless animated button above the menu.

"I have an opinion you may disagree with-"

"-Snowflake, out!"

Thought this was a joke. Impressive!

The inclusion of the personal note from one client thanking him because it was the first event she organised for the company is incredible, enhanced by her e-mail signature being pasted underneath, containing her full name.

[BritishHobo]

I saw Jack Dee at an event recently, and you were far funnier and more in touch with your audience than he was.

Starting to think I have fallen for an obvious gag now.

[idunnosomename]

Lmao a website with frames and a tiled background. Shame it doesnt play a midi and have flaming skulls / under construction gifs

The best thing is on the last line he requests something be updated on the Corporate page, but then you go to that page and it hasn't been updated.

[Fabian Thomsett]

John Moloney was pro-Corbyn.

I remember one of his gags from the '90's:

"I went to a dyslexic rave - loads of people taking F. I saw someone in the corner trying to inject a heron."

Don't know if he's progressed from that in the years since.

[idunnosomename]

Lazy gag but the heron is a legit funny image

[Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse]

I take back what I said about it being mostly bashing trans folk with some misogyny thrown in. There'll also be plenty of racism in the form of mocking BAME women's appearances.

[Fambo Number Mive]

The format of Left, Right & Centre is described as being like Question Time, 'but with jokes and definitely not woke', and features comedians across the political spectrum

So will the audience be able to ask questions? And will Davidson be the moderator?

Will the questions be pre vetted like on Question Time?

[frajer]

"Hi, two-part question for the cunt in the middle: Why haven't you fucked off, and could you fuck off now?"

[Glebe]

Wokes to the left of him, gammons to the right, here we are stuck in the middle with Davidson.

I wonder if his hairstyle has been reclaimed by the lesbian fraternity.

[Brundle-Fly]

'We need people who can laugh at jokes like grown-ups used to do and not get offended because someone has a different opinion. It'll be like the good old days,' he said."

Excellent! I can't wait to see Barbara Windsor sing 'Daddy, Wouldn't Buy Me A Bow Wow'. And will Roy Hudd be performing his old Harry Champion routine?

Yes, I came to post the same thing. Poor old Triona Adams at Chris Davis Management probably left months ago.

[The Mollusk]

My funniest takeaway from this is that Jim Davidson has his own streaming platform, Ustreme.

It sounds like the name of medication for a UTI.

[jobotic]

"Do the panel agree that Dianne Abbott is fat?"

"Brilliant question, thank you. This is going really well I think. And plenty of legroom."

Also, Davidson clearly thinks being PC and woke are different - how does he define each of them?

I've never heard of Miles Crawford, John Moloney, Danny Posthill, Alex Bellfield or Samantha Day before - which ones are left, which ones are "centre" and which ones are right wing?

I'm assuming Samantha Day is at least somewhat akin to Samantha Janus.

[dissolute ocelot]

Belfield was allegedly banned from YouTube but his Twitter is exactly as awful as you'd expect. Anti mask, anti trans, anti-BBC, anti-Channel 4, anti-BLM, anti-women. He also seems very keen on getting his enemies blocked from Twitter, which shows his commitment to free speech. He's definitely not the token lefty, altho he can snowflake like the best of them.

Top result for Samantha Day seems to be a hair stylist, but I assume it's not her.

Edit: Posthill is apparently something of an impressionist, and therefore worse than Hitler. "Impressionist Danny Posthill brings a bevy of other characters with him including Billy Connolly, David Beckham, Gary Barlow, Michael McIntyre, John Bishop, Alan Carr". You can book him for £0-2500.

[Fambo Number Mive]

His response to Liz Carr is particularly revolting. Says a lot about Twitter that they give him a platform for his shit.

[bigfatheart]

I think I'm right in saying that John Moloney was (is?) a prolific gag writer for panel shows, a la Kevin Day.

It's also worth noting that his Wikipedia page contains, under the external links, 'Interview with Moloney in the Guardian', which turns out to be an archived interview with the Wandsworth Guardian.
