PROTEST EXPECTED AFTER COMIC’S SHOW IS CANCELLED we bring the store to your door! A protest is expected to take place at Sheffield City Hall after Roy “Chubby” Brown’s show was cancelled following complaints of the nature of the comic’s material. The comedian - whose real name is Royston Vasey was planned to perform in the city on January 22. But the show has since been removed from the City Hall’s calendar after the comic’s material does not “reflect Sheffield City Trust values”. Announcing the decision to cancel the gig, Sheffield City Trust’s chief executive, Andrew Snelling, said: “As

our entertainment venues reopen following lockdown restrictions, we have been reviewing our programme of events. “We have decided to remove the rescheduled show by comedian Roy Chubby Brown at Sheffield City Hall. “We understand that some people will be disappointed with our decision but we must uphold the standards and values that we promote and expect across our venues.” Following the decision to cancel the gig, more than 23,000 people have signed a petition objecting to the

cancellation. On September 10, a protest is said to take place outside Sheffield City Hall in objection to the decision. Haley Madden, who set up the petition, posted details of the protest online. She said: “On the 10th September at 10am, I have been informed of a protest commencing outside the Sheffield City Hall. “I will also be in attendance with the organisers too. “Anyone who is able to attend are more than welcome to come along too, the more Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown fans the merrier. “The organisers and myself

hope to see you there, let’s do this for Chubby.” The comedian also took to social media to express his disappointment in the show being cancelled. He wrote on Facebook: “At first I had a sense of anger and disbelief but on reflection I now feel just disappointment and sadness with the decision and the way things are going generally. “For the people in trusts/ councils who make these decisions, all I can say is that you were voted into your positions by your local communities to act on the people’s behalf and with

their best interests at heart, not to use your position to force your own private views/opinions and decide what people can and can’t do or can and can’t watch. “Surely that is for the people to decide that vote you in.” While many objected to the gig being cancelled, others welcomed the decision. Labour MP for Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough, Gill Furniss, tweeted: “I have written to the Sheffield City Trust CEO and Leader of Sheffield Council, to welcome the decision to cancel the Roy Chubby Brown performance at City Hall.”
