Dapper Laughs kills off the character
The comedian behind Dapper Laughs has killed off the comedy character.
It comes after his tour was cancelled and ITV dropped his TV show. The controversial Vine star - whose real name is Daniel O'Reilly - has angered people after making jokes about rape and homelessness.
He told the BBC "it was a type of comedy he shouldn't have been doing".
He was due to start a 12 date tour in February but that was scrapped before the announcement.
The promoters SJM Concerts have told Newsbeat people who bought a ticket should "return to point of purchase for a refund".
Newsbeat has been trying to get hold of Dapper Laughs but he's not got back to us.
The "Full Length" tour was due to visit England, Scotland and Wales.
His Cardiff show had already been cancelled following a petition by around 700 students who didn't want him to perform at the university.
They said his act "trivialised rape and dehumanised women". Since then similar petitions about other tour dates have started to appear online.
20 year old student Zara Lindsay was behind one of them. She told Newsbeat she didn't want Dapper Laughs performing on the University of Leicester campus.
She said: "Lad culture is quite prevalent these days. It's especially bad on nights out with theme nights, drinking games and sports initiations. Plus there's a general feeling that sexual assault is something that you should just take on a night out.
"Having people like Dapper Laughs holding gigs here suggests that this is an OK attitude and that sends out the wrong message."
In another blow for the comic, a Swedish based clothing label Bjorn Borg announced they're ending their collaboration with him.
They said: "Sexist jokes are not in line with what the company stands for."
Yesterday ITV announced that they won't be making another series of the show Dapper Laughs: On the Pull after a video surfaced of him making offensive jokes at a live show.
Peak, career done like that.
d*ckhead took it too far like most white boy bantz
guys an idiot he could have eaten off that nicely if he just controlled himself
should have kept it indie/online as well.
Never watched his show but I don't like comedians who don't back their material.
That's why I rate Frankie Boyle so much, stood his ground and now he can get away with anything. Once you back down once they know they can back you up again. and then you end becoming some dead pandering to the mass's stage monkey like Russell Howard.
wasn't he on newsnight last nite
This guy was shit anyway
This guy was sh*t anyway
Didn't they watch his vine nah?
don't remember anything about rape in his vines
I wasn't a huge fan of this guy at all but what happened to him is bullshit
He might not have directly made rape jokes but such things are to be expected when you take his taste into consideration
Feminism is ruining the world.

So true
Boyle got taken off primetime TV the feminists and white knights ended his mainstream career
This guy just went out like a poofta
Nothing he has done can be anything other than tongue in cheek
Can we say anything offensive the else days without breaking some puny anti hate law?
