First trans comedian to win Edinburgh comedy award

[Chersfrozenface]

Because of course he did.

Note to MN and monitors. Nicoresti is described as a "trans woman", therefore biologically male, therefore "he" is factually correct.

HIS performance.

To me, it was simply a repackaged, blokey, transactivist rant. I guess if you think, uncritically, that transactivism is “the right side of history” you might find it funny. I was rolling my eyes in the same way I do when any transactivist attempts gaslighting arguments.

I’m not sure which “trans creator” of the last decade or so hasn’t made their entire schtick or personality about being “trans”. Which is enthralling for them and their supporters. Boring af for everyone else.

Didn't the Izzard of Was win it once? Or maybe he wasn't trans then .

and a very unfunny man at that. I listened to about 4 minutes of him. It was dire.

I think he was a runner up in the main award? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Edinburgh_Comedy_Award_winners
I may have missed his name though.

Absolutely average comedy - suburbia open mic level.

Glad he ‘won’ Best Comedy and not best Female Comedy.

He won't need that much material. He'll use this award to get on panel shows and podcasts. That fame will get him audience who want to hear the same stuff over and over again.

Im guessing he will never get bored of thinking and talking about himself.

I will wait with bated breath to see if they go on to have an illustrious career like many of the previous winners.

And on podcasts and radio panel shows, people will just hear a man

And on tv people will just see a man.

Sounds fine. Congratulations to them.

I liked him so much more when he was a gender non conforming heterosexual man.

Which I suppose he still is, but with shiny new labels.

Izzard used to identify as transvestite (They're not women's clothes. They're my clothes. I bought them). And he won the Perrier Award in 1993. And I believe he was funny back then as well.

Utterly unsurprised that he's posted the usual safari trophy pose in women's toilets.

These men show us how much they hate actual women.

Safari trophy is right. I was going to rant but you know I actually just find that picture upsetting. Times change. Woman hate is eternal indeed.

My thoughts too.

Having listened to 5 minutes of his act ..
Middle class, arrogant, entitled bloke spends 5 minutes ranting at women with sexist material.
I mean, groundbreaking? Why because he's wearing a blouse?

Oh... that's not very nice, is it?

Also, what the feck is he wearing?

The only thing he has in common with women will be having his appearance judged more than his ability. Maybe he'll consider that a win.

He looks like he’s borrowed Jolyon’s kimono.

What a pathetic b4stard. His poor mum & dad.

Fonty on Twitter put it best, I think regarding that toilet trophy photo -

'The big gamete hunters are on safari again'

Is trolling women part of the act? He’s just a “progressive” version of Jim Davidson.

They really ought to criminalise unauthorised men in women's toilets.
