Well that's in plain language.....
Certainly heard a similar story about him when he came to AustraliaLong time lurker etc etc.
I really hope Stephen K Amos is included for what he allegedly did to that poor teenage boy. News articles from the time only mention ‘Mr X’ as the court / inquest protected the identify of the comedian. But SKA tweeted the boy’s name after he died and it seems everyone knows it was SKA.
The news articles say Mr X plied him with drink, drugs and gifts, raped him, made him strip in front of Mr X’s friends so they could touch him. He couldn’t cope with what had happened to him and ended up committing suicide.
i really quite like Victoria!
allegedly, lucas and walliams (based on blind item hints etc). but also allegedly just about the comedy circuit in general.Is the programme tonight just about Brand or will others be named?
he would surprise me too.Matt Lucas would surprise me.
I've often said a male #metoo movement is well over due (often against other men, but not exclusively). But I'd never have put Lucas as a predator.
I'm amazed its only 1h 30m, tbh. They could make a 15 part series about the comedy circuit, based on my observations at the Fringe over the last 20 years.allegedly, lucas and walliams (based on blind item hints etc). but also allegedly just about the comedy circuit in general.
based on what i’ve heard, same. the fact that posters were able to quickly name a whole list of comics it could be on the last thread speaks volumes.I'm amazed its only 1h 30m, tbh.

I only have 1 small piece of tea this year. A comedian who is a new dad was gurning heavily at his secret show this year. The show was an afternoon show. Also his team were absolutely HORRIBLE to locals who were just actually at the bar to have a few drinks.I'm amazed its only 1h 30m, tbh.

Fairly standard - I don't bother with the comedy at the Fringe anymore, I've seen too much crappy entitled behaviour from people.I only have 1 small piece of tea this year.

I didn't even realise it was a show until his team told me to move because he was about to perform!Fairly standard - I don't bother with the comedy at the Fringe anymore, I've seen too much crappy entitled behaviour from people.
When you're not as hugely famous and well-loved as your PR has led you to believe...I didn't even realise it was a show until his team told me to move because he was about to perform!
And I doubt they'd do a 90min show about just Russell Brand. You'd just release a story via newspaper and let it snowball from there. There must be moreThe interest around this just doesn't make sense if it's only about Brand. The guy has fallen out of mainstream media more or less completely at this point and I don't think that many people are shocked
I go into a Rob Beckett panic. I really like him, hope him and Romesh aren't involved in this.Can we say Brand instead of RB? A couple of times now I've had a panic about what Rob Brydon has been doing!
Yes I can totally believe it. He seems like an any holes a goal type bloke. Like the Bishop of Bath and Wells in BlackadderSunday Times will also be revealing their story at 3pm today I believe (apologies if I misremembered the correct newspaper).
I remember when Lauren Harries said that she and Brand slept together and he denied it, I just felt she was telling the truth.
I didn't know about that, that's horrifying. I've always disliked SKA, but not because I got those vibes from him. His comedy just seemed to be accusing people of being racist. Then he was on a talking heads show giving commentary about a comedy show made by disabled people and he said it was too uncomfortable to watch, because they were being exploited. Excuse the duck out of me, are you saying that because someone's legs don't work they aren't intelligent enough to make a career choice for themselves? You're allowed to accuse people of being prejudiced against you though?Long time lurker etc etc.
