Award named after Dame Edna comic Barry Humphries is DUMPED from comedy festival over his 'transphobic comments'

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Drop the T and boycott everyone who supports it.

He won’t cut off his dick so he is a bigot? Typical breeders.

He's made homophobic statements as well.

Didn't know he was still around. That Dame Edna schtick was stale 30 years ago.

And yet those didn’t justify removing his name from an award but these do? Fuck that shit. He’s right about trannies.

Transphobic is the least of his issues. Homophobia and casual racism are also there. I don't find Edna/MPC amusing here, I wouldn't enjoy paying to see her on a stage.

Margaret’s Stadium wasn’t changed.

I will never understand straight guys doing drag. It clearly comes from a place of derision, not adoration of women. I always found Dame Edna kinda icky for that reason.

When Edna picks people in the audience to chat with, she never picks gays. Too much competition when it comes to bantering.

When I went to see her, she made a point of saying hello to the "Friends of Kenny".

Barry has always been an asshole. However, people are getting completely ridiculous - don't give the Oscar to a sexual harasser or homophobe - um, you're supposed to be rewarding the art, not the person's personal life.

I don’t disagree with any of his quoted comments.

He is a brilliant entertainer.

R11 would give Hitler an Oscar achievement award.

Nuff said.

Barry Humphries couldn't care less what these demi-mondaine SJWs do.

Watch this clip with daggy old Parkie and you'll see how Humphries is a superb raconteur.

See how he manipulates both the audience and the guests with a mix of rehearsed anecdotes and whip-smart retorts.

Dame Edna is a delight. Barry Humphries is not.
