If thats true would be ridiculous if you dont like him then dont attend
It's a ballsy move to invite such a controversial public figure, especially given his stance on the Eddie McGuire situation amongst other delicate matters, he doesn't come cheap either, perhaps he's had strong threats made against him if he does come across.
When I ran a club I managed to do a few of these sort of nights, they can generate some decent coin, I secured Greg Ritchie/Mahatma Cote, Mark "Jacko" Jackson, Chopper Reid, Warwick Capper, Peter Bosustow and a couple more that escape me atm, Ritchie was by far the most entertaining, he was more entertaining as a person than him as his alias.
I hear the Nixon is doing the rounds atm, you couldn't pay me to see him, it's a disgrace IMO.
