I watched his comparison of Ricky Gervais and Nish Kumar trans jokes

(Not sure how to make it a link on my phone)

and then went on to watch his interview with Glinner and a video of his reaction to a talk from a 'non-binary femme trans gay man'

Brilliant!

I'd not come across him, thanks OP.

He's brilliant. And also quite beautiful 😍

BoredofthisCrap7 · 30/06/2022 11:12

Yes he's great. He goes to a lot of KJK's Standing for Women rallies. He also does very funny and clever parody songs about gender "woo" as he calls it. He brings a good perspective as a gay man.
I think one of his main arguments is that women cannot be gay men (duh!) and gets very vocal about how trans men can never be men and never especially be "gay" men.

He seems like a very genuine and nice guy too, I'm glad he is on our side and it's good to know that a lot of gay people are not captured by this nonsense.

I love Menno. Its one of the few male run YouTube channels I subscribe to.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 30/06/2022 12:51

That's a really good video by him, covers a lot of ground. Good to share with people.

IcakethereforeIam · 30/06/2022 16:32

Oh, Mr Menno seems lovely. Nish Kumar sounded deranged on some of those clips.

Blackandwhitehorse · 30/06/2022 17:17

What a brilliant takedown!

Redshoeblueshoe · 30/06/2022 17:23

I saw Mr Menno at the Manchester Standing for Women event. He was lovely.

GarethKeenan · 30/06/2022 19:25

He's my new hero. Thanks, Mr Menno. Thanks for calling out this insanely weird practice where we're expected to pretend sex offenders and fetishists are women and welcome them into our safe spaces- spaces we only need because of MEN.

DOBARDAN · 30/06/2022 19:32

I'll give Mr Menno a watch and listen later, thanks for posting OP,

Olderbadger1 · 30/06/2022 23:49

Nish does sound seriously deranged and beyond angry. Frightening that women wanting to retain single-sex spaces should be the cause of such a violent reaction.
This is the best video Menno has done. So powerful. And I agree he's a smasher. More Mennos would be cheering.

ThatWasThat · 01/07/2022 00:11

I'd thought Nish was a bit immature but trying to carve out some comedy space. I'd thought he was not a bad lad but just trying to back the right horse and be famous. I'm no big fan of Ricky but seeing this I'm thinking Nish has lost the plot. So Nish, I suggest you 1) stop screeching about anything 2) look at evidence and review your values and 3) align your commedy not just to what you think will be briefly popular but something you can sustain. Is this really where you want to position yourself?

janesmithsdog · 01/07/2022 00:18

I wonder why Nish has lost the plot so spectacularly.

I used to think nish kumar was ok but after listening to him a few times on The Bugle*, I have realised he is totally up his own arse. Not sure if the cocaine use he is forever boasting about is part of the problem.

Ranting about how shit another comedian is just highlights his own lack of comedic abilities.

*a podcast by Andy Zaltzman that has guest comedians and satirists but is also quite a lot about cricket.

Totally misread that as The Bulge

NoToLandfill · 01/07/2022 08:51

Wow thanks for the link. He is GREAT. maybe he will be listened to because he's a bloke. I don't even care anymore.

WolverineBluey · 01/07/2022 09:31

I love The Bugle and Nish has really made me laugh on there for years, OP.

I think Andy is a satirist through and through and would never sacrifice comedy for an ideological stance, but his sister is v TWAW and Nish is starting to get more of that in. I always thought I'd see him live one day, but that clip is bonkers, profoundly ironic and spectacularly misses the point on all counts, to boot. I wouldn't pay for that display!

Great video from Menno. He knows what's what.

Orgasmagorical · 01/07/2022 12:00

Are Nish's histrionics because he's TWAW or because he hates Ricky Gervais? I'd be a bit worried for his mental health if I was someone who cared about him.

Mr Menno has summed it up perfectly.

I like Nish. He's making himself look bad to a section of the public, his audience, i assume, won't care.

ComfyChairPose · 01/07/2022 13:44

At work, so badly want to press play!

Swashbuckled · 01/07/2022 14:43

Very encouraging... 🙂

Where is ethnicity mentioned? Or are some comedians above criticism because of their ethnicity? A bit patronising, don't you think?

Assuming this is a further attempt to smear Menno following the deliberate misinterpretation of his Black Pampers costume recently. Nice try.

Nish is talking utter bollocks here (and I'm a fan).

WolverineBlueyy · 06/10/2022 13:45

“I’m an out and proud gay man and I stand with TERFs every single step of the way”

Applause again for Menno, who loudly objected to a play that welcomed everyone to its 'safe space' except for... well, you can guess really can't you?
