I believe the first joke about the Titanic was " How's the iceberg?" , which didn't go down very well.

You're right, the Iceberg didn't go down.

Like buying a house next to a nightclub and complaining about the noise, why go to a live comedy gig if you're easily offended.

Did you not think to ask if there were any songs that shouldn't be played to avoid a situation such as the one you watched unfold? Unbelievable.

I hope that I am stupid enough to have missed the irony in this?

I don't find him funny. But then my wife hates fools & horses.
And we both detest the new Mrs Brown Saturday night show.

Frankie Boyle summed up audiences well when at the Dome a few years ago there was a sharp intake of breath by the audience on a joke he said about the McCanns. He stopped and said something like "you lot are the sick ones as I have given offensive comments / jokes about the Pope, date rape etc etc and all you were offended by was parents who left there kids alone". It made you think

Sometimes jokes can be OTT with no controversial content.

Sometimes its difficult to tell who the target is,

I was referring to his John McCrae joke, Flanders field and all that. Written in 1915 (the poem, not the joke) which if my calculations are correct is some 23 years before the outbreak of WW2.

I made no comment of the hilarity of his humour just the hypocrisy of attending his gig to hear him say offensive things just as long as it's not about a subject they find offensive.

If it doesn't offend them in particular then they'll get offended on behalf of others too.
