Mother of Downs Syndrome child in the audience goes full-on beel. Either this is clumsy reporting from The Metro (not for the first time, won't be the last) or else I have to call bullsh.it on her statement. please log in to view this image The mother of a girl with Down’s Syndrome said she burst into tears after a comedian joked about the condition during his set. Barry Castagnola joked that he looked like ‘Daniel Craig with Down’s Syndrome’ while on stage supporting Inbetweeners star Greg Davies. Susie Hamill, 51, was insulted and left ‘in tears’ after hearing the joke at Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena on Saturday. She was upset because she worried about what effect it would have on her daughter, Ffion, 21, who has the condition. Mrs Hamill tweeted Castagnola saying: ‘Greg Davies was, as ever, amazing but support act @BarryCastagnola made a cheap joke about Down’s Syndrome! Offensive and ignorant!’ Castagnola said: ‘I’m so sorry to have caused offence. It’s not in any way supposed to be a joke ‘about’ Down’s Syndrome. I was quoting something said to me.’ On Sunday Susie added: ‘Do you still think it’s funny to relate to yourself as Daniel Craig with Down’s Syndrome? ‘Because today, I am still heartbroken and in tears, as I was last night at your crass ignorance.’ But she added: ‘Well, you ruined our night as the 5,000 people behind me laughed. Careless and cheap and I paid to hear you insult my daughter.’ It’s an absolute miracle Ffion was not sitting in the auditorium herself that evening.’ Upset because she was worried about what effect the joke would have on her daughter but the daughter wasn't even there? How is not bringing your daughter to a gig an absolute miracle? Not exactly in the same category as turning water into wine. Ruined her night because 5000 people laughed at the gag, a night so badly ruined that she had to choke back the tears in time to find Greg Davies as amazing as ever? Comedian could not be more apologetic but she dismisses this as only a cursory apology. Do comedians have to do a survey of an audience before each show just in case someone may not like what they are about to make jokes about? On a lighter note, Wid Ye?

Thank you. Or Fu.ck you, not too sure. So which one would be the better Wid Ye? Downy Daughter or her Dowdy Ma? Asking for a friend.
"Ffion" ffs, does anyone else suspect that's not an actual name but the noise she makes when she tries to talk?
