Grouchy Club co-host Kate Copstick says I am "odious"
In yesterday's blog, I mentioned a comedian who, for two consecutive days, had not noticed the line between admirable persistence and pointless harassment to plug his Edinburgh Fringe show. Yesterday, I had yet another text and another phone call from him. Thankfully, my iPhone makes it easy to block numbers, which I have now done. Over-promotion without originality is counter-promotion.

There has been quite a lot of reaction to some of what comedy critic Kate Copstick said in that blog [about the subject of rape]. Yesterday, comedy critic Corry Shaw sent this reaction, which she headed as 'An open letter to Kate Copstick from a smaller female voice in comedy'.
Corry Shaw, John Fleming's Blog, 20th September 2013Opinion: It's an Unfair Copstick, Guv
Kate Copstick is something of a 'big deal' in the comedy world; when she's not making caustic statements about rape, she's a serious arts journalist. It's time for a bit of equality. Time to be held accountable for your actions, regardless of gender, or status, or just plain stupidity.
