Roy Chubby Brown gig pulled over 'incompatible values'
A show by comedian Roy Chubby Brown has been cancelled by a council for not being "compatible" with its values.
Chief executive Mark Davies said it was a "fair, diverse and inclusive organisation" and Brown's shows were not "compatible with these values".The council's decision followed an online petition, which called for the show to be banned. The petition, which has been signed by 61 people, also said putting the show on at the authority-run venue "flies in the face of the city council's equality and diversity policy".Mr Davies said "following concerns raised by our community, Lancaster City Council has taken the decision to cancel the appearance of Roy Chubby Brown".
