I’m one of a dying breed who has never divorced a comedian. I can imagine that the big worry is having your private life dragged out on stage for the world to ridicule. Doubly so if your name is Annelise Holland and you’ve been caught cheating on your comedian husband less than a year after your wedding.
It was in this climate of fear that adulteress, Miss Holland approached her solicitor 2 years ago in an effort to gag her comic ex, Stephen Grant, from ridiculing her in public. £40,000 and 2 years later, a judge has ruled that the “liar-liar-pants-on-fire” defence doesn’t hold much weight in a court of law and has allowed the celebrated UK comedian to talk as much smack as he likes, as long as it’s all true.
Not wanting to waste any time, Grant immediately issued a statement saying: “This was a woman so two-faced it took ages to upload Facebook pictures of her because I had to tag her twice”.
Our English brethren can catch Grant’s new show, Facepalm, at the Brighton Comedy Festival on October 17th.
