Hard times for axed comedian Hardeep

By Michael MacLeod

COMEDY bad-boy Hardeep Singh-Kohli is proving a box office flop after a series of sex scandals saw him axed by telly chiefs.

The Glasgow-born comedian was first ditched by the BBC amid sleezy allegations he sexually harassed a female researcher – despite denying the claim.

He then sparked another storm by posting a list of ‘kid porn characters’ on Twitter – twisting names of top children’s favourites such as Randy Pandy and Little Jack Hornier.

Now some comedy venues across Scotland admit that they are struggling to sell tickets for his nationwide tour.

One venue said it had shifted just 17 tickets for his gigs – which start in just eight weeks time.

A DAD has been banned from using the internet after logging-onto a fake astronomy website that was actually plagued with child porn.

Francis Cassidy, 48, had over 400 images of pre-teen children being abused, 19 of which were at the second-worst level of depravity known to police.

He escaped prison today (Tues) with community service at Edinburgh Sheriff Court after being deemed “low risk” to the public and his own children.

But a sheriff warned him that he would be jailed if he ever looks at illegal porn again.
