It’s time for Leeds Grand Theatre to come clean, only a racist fuckwit like our manager Ian Sime would hire a bigot like Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown and think that was adding to the culture of Leeds. Only an arrogant prick like Sime would think they could get away with passing off this ailing loser as a “Top Comedian”. At last we are coming clean, we know that Brown is racist scum, who only appeals to the lowest form of humanity – other racist scum and arseholes like Sime. After receiving numerous complaints, after admitting Brown is racist or denying it depending on who we’re speaking to, we’ve finally decided to be honest about what he is. If you think that our manager is a low-life who should be sacked for giving Brown’s offensive racist material centre-stage at the Grand Theatre, and if you think we should belatedly cancel his show and tell the racist bastard to fuck off, please give us a ring, we’d love to hear from you, as would our sponsors and trustees (some of whom claim to be liberal.)

In your opinion

Everything youve stated is just your opinion. Its all subjective. Some people think red is the best colour, some people will swear blue is better.
You sound like the type of person who complains about things they see/read, without considering that it isn't any of their effing business. If you dont like it, put on your own act, then we can all complain about what you've got to say and protest against your show.

Racism isn't funny

And some people are vicious racists or racist apologists, in which case they should fuck off.
Chubby Brown is shit, only thick racists would find his act funny. Leeds Grand Theatre has been done up with public money, so are they giving a platform to someone intent on stirring up racism in the city - the night before the English Defence League will attempt to bring it onto the streets.
I was on New Briggate last night and loads of people were laughing at the Grand's new sign, far more than would laugh at Brown himself.

I guess racially abusing people, denigrating their sexuality, cheer-leading racism, and all the violence that helps to stir up doesn't count in your opinion.
Chubby Brown is low-life
