Leeds Grand Theatre Racism Row: “We Admit We Lied”

Felix Carruthers-Eggington, Leeds Grand Theatre | 08.10.2009 00:02 | Anti-racism | Culture | Sheffield | World

“Top Comedian” – My Arse! – OK, we lied.
“Top Comedian” – My Arse! – OK, we lied.

Now we’re telling the truth.
Now we’re telling the truth.


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.)
