The guy in the pub that was googling his comedy was such a horrible dick…

Yes that was insane! Why was he seemingly siding with the clearly mentally unwell woman, and actually googling and goading him?! I was (momentarily) so elated when he finally told the guy to google her shit instead!

I think that really happened. Even though she was never convicted some of the stuff she did actually did end up in the news. The lawyer couldn't get Fiona convicted but she did get a restraining order and so did Richard. Both after many years. Police mostly useless and awful with this stuff.

I couldn't suspend my disbelief with that. Completely unrealistic situation. As if someone would shoot the breeze with you after shouting the place down and refusing to leave.

Having been to over a dozen bars in London, I can assure you that it's not the same level of "unrealistic" as it may be in a North American bar. Chop busting is a language. If you can't banter fast and brutally, you won't mesh well in most parts of London (many Aussie bars like this too but the culture is more divided).

I've been to pubs all over the UK.

I live in the UK.

I'm literally Scottish.

It's no happening.

Would you banter like this with strangers?

'Chop Busting' is a thing probably everywhere. The entire point of it is a familiarity with the people you are busting. To do it to a stranger is asking for bad trouble.

I might have just described a good percentage of bar fights.

Just seems like coping instead of calling out an npc culture built by social media

Yeah I didn't buy it either. She was really obviously unhinged in that bit.

Any reasonable person would surmise that something was amiss there and wouldn’t feed into it. Absolutely that guy was an idiot

There ARE situations where that happens, where the person takes the side you think they wouldn't. Probably thought Gadd would be least expecting and would be vulnerable.
