Crucial way to end the week with some much needed points, defensively solid picking up 3/5 clean sheets. We must take this into the following week and push up the table!

This is the moment the man who posted the clip that got me cancelled ten years ago came up to me and apologised.
In 2014, my career tanked overnight after a clip from a gig—me reacting to the press calling my TV show a “almanac for r*pe culture"—got posted online, twisted out of context. A woman shouted her friend was "gagging for a r*pe,” I repeated it, but the clip they showed, only showed my part. That was enough. Its taken over 10 years to get back,
The press branded me a “pro-r*pe" comedian, the public bought it, and it was hell. My humour as Dapper Laughs was too much at times, sometimes misogynistic, but I wasn’t evil. A petition with 60,000 signatures killed my ITV2 show and tour and brand deals. I lost everything—money, career—hit drugs and booze hard, lost my dad, and nearly ended it all a couple of times. All from one joke some lad posted.
Then here we are, at a gig, that same lad approached me, nervous, to apologise. It’s weighed on him. I caught it on my vlog—you could see the relief hit him as he let it all go. That mess didn’t just ruin me; it hurt my family, friends, and fans.
Worse, it felt classist. Big-name, well-connected comedians said worse but got a pass—right background, right accent. Right connections. No issue. Me? Working-class, rough-edged from a council estate and sounding to dumb to be able to create characters, be satirical or write jokes was easy to destroy.
Some of those comedians who signed the open letter to cancel me or wrote hit pieces against me, even comedians I admired, later faced their own cancel scandals. I could’ve hit back, but I don’t. I own my screw-ups, truly believe in comedy and free speech, and think we should learn, not burn, from our mistakes.
I’m past bitterness. Sobriety taught me accountability. That lad’s apology showed guts—facing shit head-on lifts the weight. Lesson: talk, own it, move on.
To everyone who buried me? I’m still here, stronger than ever doing my 60th sold out tour show tonight, I appreciate the motivation 🙏
