Fun House legend Pat Sharp's life now after the joke that ended his career

Story by Louise Lazell • 1

Former Fun House legend and radio DJ Pat Sharp was dramatically taken off air earlier this year after reportedly humiliating a woman live on stage at an awards show.

The 61-year-old - who is best known for hosting Fun House on children’s TV in the 90s - reportedly made a joke about “getting on your t**ts” to a woman as he handed her a T-shirt with his face on it, The DailyMail reported. The T-shirt had an old photo of Pat with his classic mullet hairdo and the caption: ‘Pat Sharp - AS SEEN ON FUN HOUSE - LOOKING SHARP SINCE 1982’.

In response to what happened, the woman posted on social media to say she felt ‘violated’ in front of around 400 colleagues and friends. “I was in complete shock and hadn’t really processed what happened,” she wrote. “Today I am struggling with it — I feel sad, dirty and, frankly, violated."

Greatest Hits Radio - where Pat had presented a show since February 2019 - announced that his contract was due to expire at the end of the month and they had made the decision not to renew. They added that he would not return to the show with “immediate effect”. A spokesperson for Bauer, which owns Greatest Hits Radio, said: "Due to the introduction of new weekend programming, a decision had already been made not to renew Pat's contract which comes to an end later this month. However with this issue now having been brought to our attention, we have agreed with Pat that he will not return to the station with immediate effect."

Other than Greatest Hits, Pat has previously hosted programmes on Radio 1, Capital FM, Smooth Radio and Heart, as well as presented some episodes of music TV show Top Of The Pops in the 1980s. Since the incident, Pat has stayed under the radar but has been keeping fans updated with his life on Instagram. He posts snapshots of him with his grandchildren and some throwback pictures of him in his heyday.

In one Instagram video, the grandad shared dozens of images of his grandchildren having fun in the pool, playing games and roaming the park in a post captioned 'Grandkids galore'. When he wasn't spending time with the grandkids, Pat appeared to be taking some time away at Windermere in the Lake District in July and enjoying trips to the beach in Watergate Bay in Cornwall with his wife Monica.

Earlier this month Pat was advertising an 80s tribute gig Ultimate 80's Reloaded in Torquay with himself alongside another DJ Max Corderoy. Sharing tickets to book on his Facebook page, the event described itself as "non-stop nostalgia" with "a pulsating mix of 80's hits". Earlier this year, Pat took part in a handful of other gigs - including Music in the Park in Leyland, Lancashire, in May, and at Butlin's Big Weekenders and Lets Rock Leeds retro festival, both in May.

The new puritanism. One joke and your career's over!

Its horrific how he's allowed to continue to earn money to support himself and his family after that. Some government minister should phone ahead everywhere he goes to tell them its not right.

I believe he's worth about £20 million. I intend to sub his Rumble channel until its forced offline by Drainage and her filthy husband.

There's a slight difference between making an ill advised joke that causes someone offence and allegations of child grooming, sexual assault and rape though.

A lot of these articles are sensationalised in order to drive 'clicks and shares' - purely because we've built a system which rewards content that makes us fearful or angry. Also your 'the new puritanism' comment reminds me of Stewart Lee's 'these days, if you say you're English' sketch.

You'd like to think so but both will get you cancelled, apparently.

I watched for a little while but ... it's Brand.

I think Piers Morgan's take was better.

So multiple complaints to the police now according to the breaking news.

I wonder what cope will come next.

Imagine if Jimmy Saville had been accused and was still allowed to do Christmas TOTP and get appearance money while saying everyone accusing him was a liar - same loons would have gone apoplectic

Brand railing about the crooked mainstream media trying to silence him and the conspiracy cra sounds remarkably like a Two Pence Trump, especially ironic as he coined Poundshop Enoch Powell for that arse Farage. Come full circle.

When Joe Rogan got "cancelled" for saying nigel and for the ivermectin and so on it was a relief that he had already left youtube for spotify. Lots of people signed up following that who hadn't yet followed him. A million new followers he said. It was an own goal basically for controlled big tech.

Now with Brand again thankfully he already had a back up with rumble. Proved cancelling isn't a given any more. People are following him there and its shaping up to be another own goal for big tech. 

The issue of advertisers flight which is trumpeted by the media such as this https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/sep/23/firms-pull-ads-from-rumble-platform-over-russell-brand-videos shouldn't concern Rumble. That article dated 2 days ago says Brand has 1.4m followers there which he did. Today he has 1.62m followers. Long term this is far more important to Rumble than a couple of advertisers temporarily pulling their adds probably at the behest of Blackrock. They'll be back, especially if the service grows at that sort of rate. Generally mentions of "rumble" must be through the roof due to this. And for the many many millions who prefer freedom and lack of censorship all the mentions are positive. 

Everyone with big channels on youtube must be thinking they aught to have a backup outlet because you never know. This is all good for freedom and a huge own goal for the oppressors.

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/sep/25/police-in-london-receive-a-number-of-allegations-against-russell-brand

the Times senior writer Sean O’Neill wrote: “Anyone with even the sketchiest knowledge of how the media works surely knows that every single word of reporting on Brand has been rigorously scrutinised before publication.”

HAHA thats why its so vague and sketchy, they scrutinised it and rolled back until it was vague innuendo. Dare I say flaccid. The best they could come up with 

The Sunday Times published texts to her – from a phone number that they said multiple sources had verified as belonging to Brand – which said: “I’m sorry. That was crazy and selfish.”

Hardly a confession to rape.

Brand calls out the chief architect of the imposture in that video above - Drainage's husband Baron Lancaster of Kimbolton - who is also apparently the govt's Defence Export Advocate. The plot thickens.

Is there enough here for Brand to instruct his lawyers? How might we assist him in that endeavour?

Oh, and the Kid from Kolkata has been talking about denying convicted rapists the right to early release. Another extraordinary coincidence, or yet more glimmerings of a moral re-armament campaign aimed at the GE?

Murdoch's pornographers have the story, naturally.

Thought I'd put my money where my maths is. I've just bought 26 shares in Rumble for £100. In 10 years I'll buy a car or something. live.trading212.com if you use code MSE you get a free share in Orange as well worth 11 euros. 

Tech and their bosses at Blackrock are out to destroy Rumble so its not a sure bet by any means but the price can't get much lower so buy the dip as they say.

Keep on funding the platform of the MAGs now...

Genius - so you are 'fighting the Empire' by backing the Trump, Alex Jones., Rudy Giuliani and MAGA enabling site... oh and that is invested in by orgs like Cantor Fitzgerald and Trump org, ex Fox News folks...

You guys really do shoot your own foot off daily.

Anyway on Russell Brand - multiple allegations at multiple locations spanning 2 decades have been put to police.

Police are investigating these claims.

Claims of exposing himself in LA are being taken as credible and his co-star Matt Morgan is distancing himself from it like a dog trying to disown a fart.

Brand as ever hs not commented on this just gone on about media conspiracy... a media that evidently conspired to pull his cock out on someone then joke about it... o no wait that was him again.

Disgraced? Accused and vilified in the media for a few days and they want to believe they are the arbiters of grace? Maybe they think because they hyped him for 20 years they are the ones who piled on the grace so they can take it away. 

Meanwhile in other (yes related) news https://meaww.com/outrage-after-german-family-faces-deportation-and-prosecution-over-home-schooling I wonder if admitted fascist staffsnot is for or against allowing homeschooling.

One minute snotty's saying Brand should be barred from social media as he'll [outrageously] use it to defend himself against allegations, next minute he complains that Brand [outrageously] doesn't even comment on the allegations. Whats a fascist to do I wonder.

I clocked snotty as a wrong 'un ages ago and have had him on ignore ever since, simply assuming that he was a VI troll or a crank. The thing I found most odd about his contributions were his attempts to assume the role of forum gatekeeper/censor (for instance, the third post of his on this thread).

Now, I'd have never for a moment have guessed he was a snoop. The absurdity of it! It wasn't until Drainage and her idiot husband became involved in this affair that the scales fell. Snot was very early out of the gate with his original post. Almost as if he was tipped off by his NAFO chums? And why all the fuss about a washed up actor/comedian on a forum about house prices?

The question as to whether Brand could now receive a fair trial in this country after the blanket condemnation he's received in the media is a very real one and something his lawyers will certainly pursue.
