Comedian upsets corporate arseholes

[faceless]

Comedian kicked off stage for banker jokes at Nationwide party
Scott Charlton was booted off stage halfway through his Christmas party act for directing his jokes at the audience of bankers.

Nationwide bankers were unimpressed by Scott Charlton's jokes. Nationwide bankers were unimpressed by Scott Charlton's jokes. The gig started on the wrong note with Charlton insulting a banker who was texting on his phone. After identifying him as a manager, he said: ‘I’ll have a job long after you.’ He then sarcastically told him: ‘Your mum and dad must be so proud of you.’

After continuing in this vein he was eventually told by one of the organisers: ‘We’ve had enough now.’ Mr Charlton said: ‘I’ll tell you when I’ve finished. Any respect we had for bankers went a long time ago.’ He was asked again to finish his act and left the room after about 20 minutes.


A selection of Scott Charlton’s banker jokes:

1. My son asked me if prostitutes had children. I said of course they do, where do you think bankers come from.

2. I think they should put blood banks and sperm banks in local bank branches. We already know they are run by bloody wankers.

3. I got an insurance policy from Nationwide and it was just like a hospital gown. You think you're covered...

4. I wanted to be a banker until they found out my mum and dad were married when I was born.

5. (To member of banking audience) I think I spoke to you the other day - was it a good trip from Bangalore?

6. They say bankers should be able to count, but when ever I go into a branch there are six windows and only three are open.

haha, well done that man! If there's one thing that annoys me about many comedians is that they do these corporate and military gigs without the slightest amount of regret. Comedy should be about bursting bubbles, not blowing smoke up the arses of bankers and killers.

i think this guys banker anger is aimed at the wrong institution, nationwide are a building society and didn't receive any bailout money. no wonder they were pissed. if it was bank of scotland's xmas do, his outbursts would be justified.

also joke number 2 is rather funny hehe

ah right, I didn't think of that - but still, it would only have taken one person to speak out and put him right, then he could have made it better by pointing out how good Nationwide were...
