Guys there is no such thing as a trans woman. It’s in fact impossible.
A transwoman died and was buried. Years later, they tried to excavate her body, but there was no sign of a deceased woman ...
Now that is funny!
Exactly!
Nice one!!!
Nice one, but I think you mean 'exhume'.
That was a deceptively light-hearted comment. It was a 'trans-brilliant' statement 😆. There's an entire serious conversation about a topic of great consequence (human history, archaeology etc) woven all throughout your comment. Nice one. 💯🎯Not enough people bring up what you wrote when dealing with these ideologically possessed 'non binary' kids who just can't seem to think past lunchtime and offer arguments that are juvenile, solipsistic, superficial and intellectually utterly incoherent.
Simon you forgot that these are people with grown bodies but infantile minds I blame the parents
You can blame puberty blockers too?
'I feel unsafe' = 'I want that person fired because they said things I disagree with'.
"Comedian": If you don't like the material then don't watch it
Also "Comedian" when no-one wants to watch their material and they don't get bookings: Boo-hoo - I'm being cancelled! :-(
Shame, Simon Evans used to be genuinely funny, but if this is all he's got these days ... it's like watching Lenny Bruce do a Jim Davidson routine, replete with the "funny" voices
More to the point: They actually AGREE with them, but the truth negates their lazy parasitic notoriety!
@@abbienormal1411 his audience numbers prove you wrong
I think men dressing as women are quite funny, especially if they try to behave like one. What the left need is to get a sense of humour, not all jokes are offensive and if they are DON'T GO. A comics job is to make people laugh, not pander to the alphabet mafia.

what's the problem with bacon, lettuce and tomato? that's my favorite sarnie
The only problem is that you pander to them .
Indeed. That is how we got into this mess in the first place. Tolerance has its limits, or at least it should.
Pulling a .45 and emptying a few magazines into an audience would make you feel unsafe.
Tell jokes? Not so much...
Actual trigger warnings
“Made them feel unsafe” .. I’ve never heard such a wet statement .. utterly pathetic
maybe they weren't wearing their anti anxiety green lanyards...
Suddenly there's a trans-identified person in every play, film, novel, panel discussion and they can say and do whatever they like....but if the rest of us say one WORD that doesn't fit the narrative we risk our jobs. Despotism
I wouldn't complain if i hadn't seen it, but to be honest, I wouldn't if I did watch something that offended, I just wouldn't watch it again
Exactly. I think a lot of left wing comedians are two faced sycophantic virtue signallers. I don't complain about their offensive material. I simply give them a wide berth...
At least the venues stood their ground, seems like the tide is turning.
If somebody makes a joke about me I just laugh cos it's funny I don't complain
Not while the entire UK Police Force pander to this nonsense!
Seen Simon in stand up before, warming up for Lee Mack, he was funnier than Lee…
I think this is the first time I've seen Simon's eyes...
The windows of the soul - his are sunken and shifty
Don’t be cruel this guy is a well educated very funny man!
There is no such thing as a "trans woman" If you do not believe that is the case, then ask God..........
Science at least 5he non woke kind will tell you no human can trans, it is biologically impossible
Using an imaginary being as a source of authority rather undermines your point.
Unless your point is we need language and words to describe things no one’s encountered before.
Have you met a transgender person?
When did transvestites become transgender?
People who dont understand irony? Surely not!
Why would you dignify "feeling" to the same extent as reality. Why pander to these child like reactions. There isn't another side to the argument that's rational.
That is hateful = I disagree.
That is bigoted = I disagree.
I feel unsafe = I disagree.
Yes with trigger warnings etc and people being warned before hand I think some people feel actual fear and they go into the fight or flight response, bit like if you tell someone a tiger is behind a door that you are about to open and it will eat you then your body will do all sorts of crazy stuff to keep you alive, you will lose the ability to think the body will prepare itself to run like crazy or fight like hell, well words to these people are no different from an actual tiger because they have been conditioned to fear words and so the reaction to words is the same as you would get if you was in actual danger.. We are no longer dealing with rational people we are dealing with people who are not thinking and are in a state of fight or flight and will do anything to stop the feeling of fear, which would be to cancel and stop whatever it is that makes them feel that way.. It is a crazy situation we find ourselves in and it all starts with safe spaces, what do you think a safe space does? it tells the subconscious mind that unless you are in the safe space then you are in danger when in reality nobody is in danger because all we are dealing with is words and words should be nothing to fear, but because people have took it upon themselves to protect people from such words and provide safe spaces and give people trigger warnings then what they have actually done is create a generation of people scared of their own shadow in need of medication just to relax and will fly off the handle if you say anything that they may find offensive....... What a crazy clown world we are creating
Are you an American?
reminds me of the faux outrage over life of brian! Whcih strangely is currently upsetting the trans lobby. Life imitating art?
Great book, The Coddling
Oh gawd; perish the bloody thought .... they were "offended" - oh boo efin hoo.
And Irony? You're joking aren't you, they couldn't even spell it.
Gervais and others like Dave Chapelle do their thing, who cares about trans and gays, comedy is comedy, some like it some don't, so it goes.
Well, trans isn’t real and it’s not all people from the LGB community who have an issue with comedians and their comedy, so they count as do their straight counterparts. 😃
@@Summer21.LGB do their own thing however it's the 'activists' in LGBTQRSTUV + + + that need a kick in the butt, they're mostly violent, obnoxious and invasive in our society, plus the 'inclusivity' and trans BS is being pandered to by Western Govts, that's not good at all and why parents like myself will fight tooth and nail to stop the rot.
I always felt unsafe as a teenager. Mainly because i was beaten up and abused by peers and adults alike. How is recent "unsafe" feelings underming real victims. As real victims lack the confidence and assertiveness, thar these people exhibit.
Explain in detail what you mean by unsafe. It's often called anxiety.
...but I've got a dangerous dog and I'm a drug addict and he's just trying to scare me and I dont feel safe at all....
Where are their collective and individual resilience and humour? It is getting a bit too safe in the beige echo chambers of the permanently offended.
What’s the venue called? Sounds like a pathetic venue.
Grow up world GET A LIFE !!
Offs harden up people worlds mad. Il offend you no charge
Oh this sort of immaturity and knee-jerk ignorance merging with aggression and self-assurance is one of the very worst behaviour sandwiches I've seen on the increase all over Western culture. It's like watching watching the first happy half of a movie and walking out to file a review declaring it 'wonderful joyful family entertainment', not knowing that in the second half of the film the main protagonist gets mauled by a lion or is involved in a terrible industrial accident. People need to hear others out and GENUINELY want to understand them. Of course they don't. People don't listen, they just wait to talk.
Snowflakes always melt
When Evans said he was going to be a comedian everybody laughed. Well, they're not laughing now are they? Did he come up with brexit? That's a joke. He's as funny as a tory. Competiton from other tory comics though. I saw a fab Double act. 2022 summer season: Truss & Kwateng - clowns & magicians who made all this money disappear. The seats were too expensive. They were following a long run by this big fat tousled haired buffoon who wouldn't leave the stage. Loads of people walked out. He's still on tour but now he keeps getting bad reviews... I've got a million of 'em- I'm here all week
Perhaps you know of what you are talking. The rest of us haven't got a clue.
This could end up with a new species of human being where you can have both male and female sex organs on the same body
We already have Hermaphrodites, or they are now called 'Intersex'. I grew up in NZ during the French Nuke 'tests' in the Pacific in the 90's which destroyed the Mururoa Atolls. I watched a biology documentary on it at college and when the kids hit puberty they either grew p3nises or breasts. Very interesting and the islanders believed it was from the chemical fall-out from the Nukes, thousands of people got cancer and Jacques Chirac and other world leaders did NOTHING to fix it. I always thought it could be like Clownfish and Turtles which change sex.
They already exist, but rare - currently called intersex.
A comic on GB News?
They're all f*cking comedians - they can't be serious, surely? Neil Oliver - Jesus!
News about comedy is news.
who is simon evans?

@@kenhorlor5674 That was good - back when he was funny. Now he's gone to the legendary comedy-career graveyard, GBNews ... I mean, how mean washed-up comedians are there on the books now? If they had half as many journalists working for them then they might be fitting of having the word "News" in the name.

That says far more about you, than it does Simon Evans.
