Shameful Tweet from "Comedy" Steve

I'm still trying to work out why he highlighted the 'joke' on here in the first place? If emotions were running high then it might have been wise to keep it in Twitter Land or was he really expecting to get the unfettered support of NSC in railing against Steve?

Wish I hadn't now. However, a well known Brighton fan posting something in the public about a disaster I thought was a worthwhile tread. More topical on an Albion forum than hard animals I would suggest.
Anyway, as I said, some agree with me, more don't. I'll live with that

I've coined a phrase, I call it the "democracy of opinion". It's part of the modern world and media, including NSC and Twitter. Some people will find it offensive, some people will not.
If you are giving the entire world the opportunity to hear it or read something, don't complain if the reaction isn't quite what you expected or intended.

Just the sort of thing that Scots comedian from (ex) Mock the Week used to crack. Doesn't make it acceptable IMO, but then I never found much of what he said anything more than puerile or plain unpleasant or offensive.

I can understand why it was offensive to an Australian, but I found it quite amusing.
Mendoza mentioned a Joanna Yeates joke, on the first page he made reference. Whatever it was, I personally wouldn't find a joke about that funny.

It was something along the lines of catching the killer, pizza buying women at risk and a domino effect.
Comedy Steve says that he will be telling his 'weather joke' in Australia. I wonder if he would tell his 'pizza joke' in Bristol?

i went to see jerry sadowitz on friday night. he laid into the mcanns the crossbow killer muslims irish english french jewish people to name but a few. how he doesnt have a fatwa out on him by the end of this tour will be a mystery some of the things he came out with. but i paid 22 quid and knew what i was going to get. plus it was funny and raised some decent points. and had some card tricks.

An odd thing, humour.
Just checking out the state of affairs in the suburb of Brisbane where Roz has relatives, I stumble across a story in the local paper that the major effect of the flooding so far has been a surge in the price of water melons and the complete unavailability of spring onions in the shops.
Over to you, Steve ...

I thought Jerry Sadowitz was as bad as it could get until I visited a comedy club in New York. Having visited many over here, I knew what to expect to a certain degree.
Unfortunately a lot of people don't which isn't surprising because they hand tickets out in the street to Tourists.
To cut a long story short there was a women in the audience with her two daughters, one of which had her boyfriend with her. The girls were probably late teens I'd imagine. They were also from London.
There was a running joke all note from all the comics about this "MILF" in the audience with her two daughters, which she took very well.
Unfortunately one comedian, decided it was appropriate to start asking about her periods (in front of her family) and how he'd like to take the mother behind (or something like that). Something about had the boyfriend also had the mother etc...
It rapidly progressed into something I can only describe as an interrogation in why she was there without her husband. In tears and under extreme pressure (the children were also in tears at this point, but the comedian hadn't noticed) the women eventually blurted out that her husband had walked out on the family and she had taken them on a holiday to get over it.
During this time (I was sitting near the front), I was trying my best to inform the comedian he was going too far - but all I got was this comedy "cockerney" accent, which I presume was some form of impersonation.
Anyway - complete car crash and he wasn't even the slightest bit funny - although in retrospect the situation WAS, as the basis for comedy. I seem to recall him saying something racist towards all the blacks in the audience and he was quite lucky to leave the place alive.
So, yes I agree that in comedy clubs you expect totally a certain type of humour. However....

And Algie, I only left the cinema temporarily during a particularly unpleasant open-brain surgery procedure that was making me feel a bit queasy. I returned for the rest of the film (which was shite anyway).

I've seen Comedy Steve a number of times at The Komedia. In every case, he has been brilliant - far funnier than the acts he has introduced. He's topical, quick witted and like all good comedians - highly original. If you don't like his humour - don't follow him on Twitter.
Keep up the good work Steve

To be fair Tim you and others do seem to tolerate words like 'spastic, retard and mong' which myself and others find offensive (and yes there may well be personal reasons behind that as the Aussie thing is to you) and some of these people who use these words are people you KNOW on here or 'friends'... Not getting at you, just making a point...
