An “Entertaining Evening with Nigel Farage” was cancelled – 14 responses that are very, well, entertaining
“Not part of the political elite”, Nigel Farage MEP, has recently been on a tour of Australia, talking to audiences about whatever it is that is his area of expertise – presumably the price of beer, his favourite brand of cigarette and racial slurs it’s okay to use if you’re referring to takeaway food.
Here he is, promoting himself.
What a successful start to my tour of Australia. We are mainly sold out but Sydney this Thursday does have some seats so please come along.

But, life comes at you fast, sometimes. Because then this happened.
Oh, dear. what can possibly have happened?
Other people noticed his problems, too.

Nigel Farage's Australian tour is going very badly indeed. Less than half the tickets were sold for this event in Sydney – forcing the promoters to cancel. pic.twitter.com/3iY9aE42Ew

I see that some of the ‘entertaining’ evenings with Nigel Farage have become 100% more entertaining by being cancelled.

Me: I might give this prayer thing a burl.
*makes tea*
*thinks happy thoughts*
Nek minnut …Alex Jones gets kicked off twitter and Nigel Farage’s Sydney gig just cancelled.
Me: whoa!!!!! Prayers WORK! #auspol

Yo, @Nigel_Farage, I hear your Sydney show got cancelled due to nobody apart from Andrew Bolt being stupid and bored enough to endure your smug face by choice. If you’re at a loose end and feel like ironing a few shirts, hit me up!

Nigel Farage's Australia tour experiencing some hiccups. Seems poor ticket sales meant the Sydney date was moved to what looks like a fairly small venue.https://t.co/jfr8Ljc6ma pic.twitter.com/W77RDwtKoe

So Nigel Farage struggles for an audience. Is anyone really surprised? He’s widely regarded as a joke in his own country and has failed to be elected to the UK parliament half a dozen times. pic.twitter.com/vSIZL2s5NB

Not surprised.
As I wrote in a column three weeks ago, we have so many fringe lunatic nutters of our own, it really seems beside the point to import more.
If you love that stuff, buy home-grown! https://t.co/USGDsW0q3s— Peter FitzSimons (@Peter_Fitz) September 5, 2018

Seems Farage's lack of appeal and charm isn't restricted to the Northern Hemisphere https://t.co/qugRcO4NBq

The @Nigel_Farage 'event' in Sydney has been cancelled. Apparently the dodgy brothel owner who is footing the bill for Farage's Australian tour couldn't come up with the reservation fee. Conservatives constantly bomb out touring Australia, even with massive free PR from @ABCNews

It seems unlikely that the evening would have been as entertaining as the title would suggest, anyway.
Never a good sign when you need to literally spell out to people that they should feel entertained. The political equivalent of someone billing themselves as a ‘Comedy Impressionist’ pic.twitter.com/xzfSJtd49U

Unless they changed it a little.

Someone had an idea about the real reason the event was cancelled.
Guys, chill. Nigel Farage only cancelled his event at the Sydney International Convention Centre because it had "international" in the name.

Makes sense.
