I'm not passing judgement on his material
I'm just bemused that someone bought a ticket for his show knowing what level it would be pitched at, then was offended when that was borne out and publicised this.
Many subjects covered by comedy are unsavoury to some people, I don't see how one person's experience of this is news. I'm tempted to sit through a Jim Davidson routine just to see if I can get my fifteen minutes.
