Ed is a newer act and I was at this gig. It wasn't an easy gig and I myself breathed a sigh of relief when a few more punters showed up just before I went on. Having seen Ed do well before I know what he is capable of and I was well aware he was trying new material in a short 5 minute spot. It is a crying shame that this is the gig at which he was reviewed. Ed is not racist in anyway and yes he was trying something new that could have been misconstrued but there were some funny observations regarding the meat. I would sincerely hope that this review is not something that puts Ed off performing but merely spurs him on enabling his next review to eclipse this one and show him in a more positive light.

Another classic review from Bennett, makes me want to see this guy now! Brilliant

I was at this gig and have also performed with Ed many times. Therefore i feel it should be pointed out that he is not a racist person at all, in fact most of the gigs i have witnessed he has performed anti-BNP material. He only had 5 mins on stage and he was trying all new stuff + he had a very bad cold. Ed has great potential as a comic but sadly on this night it was a case of wrong place wrong time and bad luck.
