He's just gone into ICU ... not looking good for him. I'm not his biggest fan, but I hope he pulls through. -

I've got to say I'm shocked at this - I had no idea his Fringe festival act was this. I saw him at one of his first gigs in the "free slot". He's got a speech impediment / breathing problem too.
I'm a regular at the Stand , go every week and love the comedy scene and know this chap really well; he's never alluded to anything like this .
He's a good act and really proud of him for being able to discuss it. I wonder how it feels for him at these gigs, cos I've been to a few where people make a few too many jokes about the subject!Leave a comment:

I would urge anybody to try see Jonny doing this show, if he's still performing it.
He was abused as a child by a trusted adult over a period of years, but the way in which he spoke of loving that person at the time as a respected figure was eye opening to the true nature of this illegal and abhorrent relationships, for relationships is what they are instigated by the person in a position of power.
Highlight of the festival for me, particularly the fact he managed to make the story arc hilarious too. Quite a feat, given the subject matter. Superb comedian and little known.Leave a comment:

Jonny Pelham review – darkest of subjects brings compassion and hilarity | Stage | The Guardian
This comedian did an excellent stint at the Edinburgh Festival last year.
It seems many paedophiles were either born that way or abused themselves and had sexuality activated sooner, which in some people results in a skewed sexual preference as a result.
As highlighted in this comedian's show: many of them never commit any crimes, never look at any type of images, illegal or legal, of children and are aware of why they are in a bad way. It would be inhumane to recognise that many of them didn't choose to be that way and do not cause harm by recognising the incorrect feelings they have and manage successfully to do so throughout their entire lives.
I was disappointed to read your post as some more context around such a comment is required.
Indeed there seems to be a link between those that are abused and those that then abuse, disgusting as the crimes are, the solution may be understanding and treating the cause.Leave a comment:

Nice to know he's not a man of double standards though, he's willing to ignore medical advice when it comes to his own health, as well as the populace of London.Leave a comment:
