Jim Davidson
Jim Davidson has gone onto Facebook to explain why his show last night in Exeter did not happen.
Davidson posted the following with regard to his scheduled show at the Corn Exchange:
Jim Davidson is to play the Comedy Store.
The veteran comic is part of a benefit gig organised by John Moloney in aid of ADSCAF - The Abandoned And Destitute Children's Appeal Fund. Also on the bill on November 7 are Joe Pasquale, Pierre Hollins, Eddy Brimson, Geoff Norcott and Moloney himself.
I’ve been slightly intrigued and slightly obsessed with Bob Slayer for the last few years. Slayer came to comedy via tour managing rock bands and he has, in his eccentric way, shaken things up a bit. His Heroes venues in Edinburgh threw a spanner in the festival works, straddling the Free Fringe and the paying Fringe by letting people in for nothing but also selling tickets for a fiver to mugs who wanted guaranteed seats. The booking policy seemed to work – he put on Adrienne Truscott, who picked up the Foster’s Panel Prize in 2013.
In a wide-ranging interviewing with Martin Walker of website Broadwaybaby.com Jim Davidson has revealed that he may be returning to BBC1 television. The controversial comedian and Celebrity Big Brother winner also discussed his position in the comedy world and whether appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer would help to change people’s attitudes to him: “If I was to cure malaria and eradicate AIDS I would still be the arsehole racist homophobic fucking god-knows-what, so all I’m going to do up there is my spot.”
I should say straight off that I haven't watched Celebrity Big Brother since it moved to Five. Somehow some of the magic had worn off since the early days when Jack Dee was one of the winners. But when I heard the line-up for the current series my interest was aroused. Not enough to watch it of course, but enough to think that another JD – Jim Davidson – might have a chance of winning.
