Yes sign the petition. Pear Shaped Comedy Club - supposedly an open mike night - is bored with putting name acts on. It's just wrong when Mr Steven K Amos is reduced to doing the Pear.

There is NO REASON for the Council to threaten venue licences.
Existing legislation is existent to allow the setting up of regulated FLYERING ZONES as in Brighton, Manchester, Leeds and other mainly, it has to be said, Tory areas - though not exclusively.
So why politically bully landlords in this way?

This is a disaster. Who is going to invest their hard earned in putting on comedy
if they feel they are going to be victimised by a council who Gordon Brown was silly enough
to devolve policing powers to which they use SELECTIVELY to wage economic war.

This is a POLITICAL attack on live stand-up

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaargh!
