His 支持者s have questioned how Scottish shock stand-up Frankie Boyle was able to joke about Katie Price’s 無能にするd child and 強姦ing and 殺人,大当り Holly Willoughby but has always been welcome at the Fringe. They have 改名するd the festival the 'Edinburgh Cringe' and 公約するd to ボイコット(する) it.

Linehan, who said last year he had 'lost everything' because of his transgender 見解(をとる)s, has been axed because of his 主張 that women cannot have a penis and 'anyone who believes this is an 極端論者'.

Another 支持者 of the IT (人が)群がる creator said: 'We're here for support and 団結 and hopefully a bit of drink. We're calling it "Edinburgh Cringe". It's pathetic, it's 検閲. Frankie Boyle was here, was disgusting, but we wouldn't want him cancelled. It's so embarrassing, the Edinburgh Fringe used to 押し進める the 境界s and be edgy and now it's not. I'll be ボイコット(する)ing the Edinburgh Fringe 今後.'

令状ing in The 観客, Brendan O’Neill said there was hypocrisy in the way Frankie Boyle, who is 述べるd as a '悪名高い cracker of misogynistic gags', gets 'the red carpet rolled out for him at the Fringe, while Graham Linehan, whose 長,指導者 thoughtcrime is to understand what a woman is, has just been ruthlessly cancelled'.

‘The blacklisting of Linehan is a 黒人/ボイコット 示す on the Fringe. A once edgy festival seems to be morphing into 順応/服従 where only those who obediently 屈服する to the new orthodoxies are welcome. It’s not funny’, he said.

Around 100 people turned up to see him, along with almost as many photographers.

にもかかわらず 恐れるs that the show would be 混乱に陥れる/中断させるd by 抗議するs from transgender groups, the 行為/法令/行動する went ahead 滑らかに.

‘Comedy is my first love, but I’ve not been 許すd to do that for five years. This is what I decided to do to keep my toe in the water and they can’t even let me do that.'

The comedian told MailOnline afterwards that trans 権利s 行動主義者s 'need to be 敗北・負かすd 完全に' after 明らかにする/漏らすing he had to go on 苦悩 医薬 予定 to 'painful, horrible and unpleasant' (激しい)反発 against him and his family.

He 追加するd: 'I don't feel broken, I'm so used to this weird life that they can't really 傷つける me anymore.

'The time they were able to 傷つける me was when I was still married. When they were coming after my family, that was when it was painful, horrible and unpl easant. I had to go on 苦悩 医薬.

'When enough of that happened and they broke us up, then they couldn't 傷つける my wife and kids any more.

'I think trans-権利s 行動主義者s are the most evil people in the world and I do love making them angry because they're terrible people.

'I want to to make it (疑いを)晴らす, I'm not talking about trans people, I'm talking about trans 権利s 行動主義者s. Two very 際立った groups that often have nothing to do with each other. I just think they need to be 敗北・負かすd 完全に.'

'I think the important thing was to do it. So I'm glad I can say I've played the Fringe. I was 肉親,親類d of 扶養家族 on the audience's 好意/親善. I don't want to do that, I want to be funny.

'I was nervous, but not so much of the audience but of the whole 状況/情勢. It's like, "What's going to happen?" It's insane.

'I'm all 抗議するd out. If something had happened I would have just gone to the pub. Yeah, I think they pulled off something 広大な/多数の/重要な here.'
