I read that the director said 'he isn't to everyones taste so we don't want him'. So, wouldn't the people that WANTED to watch him go, and those that DIDN'T, not go? Lol

It sounds more like a director using the media to promote his tiny little club that nobody's ever heard of at the expense of someone who probably doesn't give a flying fuck about whether he plays there or not. It's not like Jim Davidson needs this extra gig, he always fills his gigs wherever he plays and I for one would love to go and see him.

Yeah, what he said.

No-one was being forced to go see him.

Jim ought to have an open air gig outside the theatre now just to piss the manager off.

He plays very small venues. Just how many seats he sells I've no idea. Don't think you'd have trouble getting a seat though.

He does midweek slots and the occassional weekend.

Censorship by one person is a bad thing, what gives one person the right to make such a decision? I'm no Jim Davidson fan the man repulses me but I respect other peoples right to see him

He's one of those guys whose commercial stuff I loathe, but he does good work for the military and charities so I've got mixed feelings. Personally I'd never go watch him as I don't think he's remotely amusing however banning him isn't necessarily a good thing.

banning people only gives them publicity usually. We wouldn't be talking about him this morning if he hadn't been barred from The Marlowe.

Can't stand the little scrote and don't care whether he's banned or not. That is the prerogative of the manager of the theatre. They can book who they like, or not, as the case may be.

And if the venue doesn't think he will pull the crowds in? He's not as popular as he once was. They could end up making a loss.

That's a different matter entirely, my issue was just with censorship. I wouldn't book him but he'd be quite welcome to stand outside and protest at me not booking him

I thought he lived in the UAE these days ?

Didn't realise he was still performing.

I remember being on the next table to him in a restaurant and let's just say he didn't fail to live up to the preconceptions I had about him.

Brash, vulgar and completely full of himself.

Cannot stand him. His jokes include ones about cancer sufferers, rape victims, wheelchair users, homosexuals, not to mention the ubiquitous racist jokes. He even refused to go on stage once because there were wheelchair users in the front row - he wanted them to be moved. He became a tax exile to Dubai but came back in 2010. He also was a 'character witness' for a vile criminal who was up on drug charges and who was subsequently given 30 years - so moves in some really nice circles. He is an alcoholic and serial wife abuser. And has been declared bankrupt. Yeah, nice guy.

Chubby Brown is completely different to Davidson...can't stand either of them but one of them has an act and the other one really is a bigoted fool. I'll leave you to decide which one is which...

It's a 1200 seat venue. The decision is a commercial one no doubt. If they don't feel he'll sell the tickets because of the recent adverse media coverage he has attracted, then cancelling his performance is in theatre's best interests.

Most performance spaces like this one also have a cultural policy, so maybe they feel someone like him doesn't fit their remit. Having said that, from the events still in their calendar, they have some shite coming up! So he would've fitted right in.

A lot of his work is pubs and clubs now anyway. Personally, I would pay him to stay away!

He was a guest in the hotel where I worked twenty years ago whilst starring at the Hippodrome in Bristol. Appalling man from what I saw - and I saw a fair bit!

More recently, he was appearing on the pier here is Weston. A few hundred went, but I think he's had it. I'm gutted.

They didn't. They refused to book him. The ticket sales of his first play 'Stand Up and Be Counted' were so disappointing that the entire tour was cancelled - that was in 2011. Since the abuse allegations I doubt many venues would want to book him.

I live near the Marlowe and it doesn't need to promote itself, there's a lot of plays/gigs etc there and it's always very very busy.

I would imagine it is because of the allegations but like someone said just say no and that's it. No need to make it a big deal. Although was it the theatre who did that or his PR people?

I always preferred the more innocuous run of the mill comedians like Bernard Manning myself, sounds like much ado about nothing but still, dont like the idea of someone deciding who I can or cannot watch or listen to.

Yep...actually I dont like either..but I see your point...and it makes me laugh when people turn their noses up at certain 'common' comedians..yet think the likes of Ben Elton, Jimmy Carr, Frank Boyle et al are acceptable because they are a little bit more 'right on'...

When the content of their acts are far more smuttier..or plain offensive.

Bernard Manning does a joke about blacks or Pakistanis in a working mens club up north...and its all ...naughty racist man..some public school toff gets up and does one of their normal sneery 'observational comedy' routines in the Comedy Club about supposedly 'smelly' french' 'fat' Americans 'thick' Irish 'Boring' Germans and its all fnarr fnarr fnarr...

Racist humour is racist humour however its dressed up...it should be the style of 'humour' people have the issue with not the person delivering it.

It's hardly a tiny little club if it has a capacity of 1200 is it?. Try doing some research first, instead of talking bollocks.

We went to see him at WSM a while ago and spent the whole show telling some sad ass story about him and a couple mates being d*unk in Torquay and have heard funnier things from people sat in a doctors surgery tbh

Then after the show he was being very rude to an OAP who only asked for an autograph with him replying "bought a dvd ?" No was the old gents answer as he only just had enough money to get into the gig "then f*ck off people pay for my autograph"

My husband went mental at him towards the old guy then started having a go at hubby until he told him that he was ex forces and one of the squaddies who booed him off stage in Germany for being a twat.

Later he was having a go at the hotel staff for not keeping the bar open until he arrived for him and his mate to have a late drink then the morning came as we were signing out he was ranting at the staff again and didnt pay his bill (for the second time apparently at the same hotel) but when he saw us walking towards him he slunk off with his tail between his legs.

Tha man is truly awful on and off stage 20 years ago he may have been quite good but now he is just another washed up out of date comedian with tired jokes and boring personality xx

I applaud the man for banning him , if only there more people like him back in the 70's the Sex Pistol would never have gigged anywhere and we wouldn't have all the kids turning into whatever it was they were susposed to have turned into ......

One man censorship is the only way way we're going to keep freedom of speach .

He hasn't been banned, he hasn't been censored. He just hasn't been selected for a gig in Canterbury.

Maybe he'll get a job at some other venue if it seems the commercial arrangements are favourable.

Why on earth would I want to spend seconds of my valuable time researching some unknown club whose manager wanted to get it in the headlines. Any advertising is good advertising etc, and on that basis he's done Davidson a favour hasn't he. We're all talking about him.

He came over to Hong Kong years ago and did a show for the troops at Stanley fort. My husband went and from him and I would estimate 90% of the troops I spoke to afterwards said they all enjoyed the show and even more so when he took time out after to chat to lots of them.

The Marlowe Theatre id s legit theatre owned by Canterbury City Council. Presumably they have guidelines like all other council regarding sexism/racism etc. Rightly or wrongly it's their call what they have on in their theatre. It was a decision taken by the Theatre management and the council.

From what I can make out from a google search it wasn't the theatre that made a big deal of it, it was him tweeting about it and its blown up from there. The guy who runs the Marlowe said that he didn't doubt that he would sell tickets but that jim isn't the sort of act that the theatre represents. Don't know what all the fuss it about to be honest. He got a gig in margate which is just up the road so anyone who thinks they're missing out can just go their.

Maybe if you had done your research, then you would have found Davidson took to twitter to rage against not being allowed to perform at the Marlowe. The director only gave an interview after being approached by the press to respond to Davidson.

I suspect that the reason he fills out the theatres (if indeed he does) is becuase his current tour is playing such legendary venues as Barry Memorial Hall...

He's playing tiny venues and primarily in backwater towns where very little happens.

He's an offensive biggoted idiot who has long since past his sell by date and his days of playing half decent venues are thankfully long since gone.

And as pointed out elsewhere on the thread it wasn;t the theatre that put this in the public domain

Semi personal remarks is an interesting turn of phrase.

I think that if those contributing here were all first timers you would be right to hold us all in contempt.

He also was a 'character witness' for a vile criminal who was up on drug charges and who was subsequently given 30 years - so moves in some really nice circles. He is an alcoholic and serial wife abuser. And has been declared bankrupt. Yeah, nice guy."

So he should be an MP . . . UKIP. Tory, Lib Dem or Labour ?

Suggestions . . .

Jim Davidson will face no further action over alleged sexual offences in the UK, the CPS has said.

The 59-year-old was first arrested in January by detectives from Operation Yewtree, which was set up after the Jimmy Savile scandal - although his arrest was not linked to Savile.

Any evidence, if any, is of sufficiently poor standard then?
