Mansfield's Conservative MP says people attending a party fundraiser featuring controversial comedian Jim Davidson will know what they are "signing up to." An advert has recently been circulating on social media for an evening hosted by Mansfield MP Ben Bradley and Ashfield MP Lee Anderson, with entertainment from stand-up comedian and presenter Jim Davidson.
Mr Davidson was particularly well-known during the 80s and 90s but in recent years, his jokes on subjects including race and the victims of rape have attracted criticism. His recent television appearances have included being named winner of Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, and being disqualified from the 2007 series of Hell's Kitchen for homophobic comments.
The event at which he will be performing in Nottinghamshire is set to be hosted on October 7 at an unknown venue, with tickets costing £50. The evening is described as a dinner with Mr Bradley and Mr Anderson and is being organised by the Ashfield and Mansfield Conservatives.
