Stop me if you’ve heard this one…
Comedian Frankie Boyle had an on-stage run-in with a mother of a Down’s syndrome child after he made fun of victims. (…)
“I expected dry, nasty, crude humour, yes, but unimaginative humour poking fun at the stereotype of people with Down syndrome was not something that I expected. (…)
“I wanted to break through their prejudices and to show how wrong the stereotypes are. But instead all I did was make people think I was someone who couldn’t appreciate live stand-up comedy. Which isn’t the case at all.”

Please note:
The name of Frankie Boyle’s current tour is “I Would Happily Punch Every One Of You In The Face.”
