Who the heck is Lolly Adelope? I am sick to death of the word 'diversity'.

I note that the people who are on the bill gave their time free. Perhaps those who "declined" were not prepared to.

I wonder what this female comedian of colour would have to say to Bing Crosby regarding his famous Christmas ditty.

[Togo]

What are the chances of that happening?

[anotheoldgit]

One wonders why it is nearly all those of African decent that complain about diversity, hardly ever hear a sound from other persons of a none white skin colour, who incidentally happen to be much more misrepresented.

Sanmac, I don't think it's the weather she is bothered about and it would be Irving Berlin she'd have to moan at - not an easy task.

[AuntLydia]

She's just miffed her act is not good enough to get on Harry Hill's show ( and that must be embarrassing in itself)

[emmie]

why all the zaps, or shouldn't we ask for fear of being zapped. I think that it is entirely possible that he asked black, Asian comedians to appear but they wouldn't do it for free or they had other paid bookings, which makes more sense.

[Mamyalynne]

That's exactly the case Emmie.

[AuntLydia]

His only mistake was not to ask Lolly Adelope. Sour Grapes!

"I'm dreaming of a white Xmas."

[Mamyalynne]

That would be fun - Snow angels :-)
