This isn't the first time that Chubby has had shows cancelled: performances in Ashfield , in Nottinghamshire, back in , and Swansea a couple of years ago, were also called off.
Does he deserve this treatment? There is certainly a never-ending flow of insults, ridicule and profanity; and religion, race and sexuality undoubtedly get their share and more. But you will hear little, if any, malice, nor are there calls to hate, attack or ostracise anyone. For working-class audiences familiar with thinking, talking and joking about race, sex, sexuality and religion in an entirely unsentimental way with little respect for political correctness, his popularity is hardly a surprise.
True, none of this cuts much ice with progressive intellectuals. But leave such people — who are unlikely to be seen dead at a 'Chubby' show anyway — to one side.
