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.
