Comedian Daniel O’Reilly has said Dapper Laughs ‘is dead’ after a massive backlash over controversial rape jokes he made as the character.
70,000 people signed petition to cancel his ITV show, after footage emerged of him telling a woman she was ‘gagging for a rape.’
O’Reilly later tried to explain that he doesn’t advocate sexual violence and feels like people should appreciate he was just in character when he said those things.

‘I’m taking the mick out of what I think men think,’ he said of his brand of ‘lad comedy.’
Daniel has now had his ITV2 show axed and his UK tour cancelled.
‘It has completely ruined everything for me as a comedian’ the star told BBC’s Newsnight.
What do you think, is there ever a place for these kind of jokes?
