00:00So somebody has messaged, has anyone gigged for one guy or another guy with any bad experience?
00:06And somebody's gone beyond rude, shambolic and largely audience free.
00:11And then also he is creepy as F.
00:14And then someone else has replied, so creepy, avoid him if you can.
00:19Somebody said I'm on a bill with, and then they've named a comedian.
00:22The booker is lovely, so I've given them a heads up, but do I back out of the gig?
00:27So they've already agreed to do the gig, now they've realised he's on the bill.
00:30What's everyone else done?
00:31Feel free to message me privately as I'm not trying to start a witch hunt.
00:35So exactly that feeling of, I don't want to be the one who causes a problem, but equally I want
00:39to be safe.
00:42And then somebody's saying, a performer who we've heard about before, who we as women in comedy tend to avoid,
00:48he's now booking under a different name.
00:51He is booking but under a different name.
00:53He was on the same line-up as me at a gig last night.
00:56Yeah, I shared a card with him a couple of months ago.
00:59He's awful.
00:59I've warned promoters about him since then, but I keep seeing he still gets booked.
01:03Right.
01:04So these are the conversations that we're having.
01:06Yeah.
01:06What's your part?
01:07I don't know.
