Male Comedian Apologises

Comedian. Writer. Actor. Presenter. Creep.

What I did was unforgivable. Please forgive me.

I just need to be quiet and listen for a while.

Tour dates TBA!

**STEPPING OUT OF CHARACTER ALERT** Thank you so much for reading these tweets. I really wasn’t expecting the account to blow up like this (it’s been a strange week!) but as it has, I just wanted to talk about *why* it exists… (THREAD) 1/

Here’s a good article by @ShamimMalekmian that gives more detail on what has been happening on the Irish comedy circuit, but also focuses on the push for a code of conduct and greater accountability.

I won’t bore you with stories of my demons or use them to excuse what I’ve done. For that, please subscribe to my YouTube channel.

What I did to these women was unspeakable, although unfortunately not as unspeakable as I had hoped.

[Male Comedian Apologises @Comedian_Sorry]

It’s not my fault I have to keep apologising.

[Male Comedian Apologises @Comedian_Sorry]

Realising the consequences of my actions, I took a long, hard look inwards and sought to find the truth behind why it wasn’t actually my fault.

[Male Comedian Apologises @Comedian_Sorry]

Ultimately, I know there’s no way to convince some people that this apology is *truly* different from the same old empty, bull***t ones I always used when I was called out in the past. Particularly because it isn’t.

[Male Comedian Apologises @Comedian_Sorry]

I cannot apologise enough that yesterday’s tweets weren’t very funny.
