Never been a fan of Russell Howard anyway thankfully but I instantly lose respect for anyone the second I find out they are into Scientology. Vile, evil cult.
Wood's post has since been deleted but Howard fans have described how they had been approached via Facebook and asked if they would buy tickets to the non-existent event.
In a Twitter exchange with the comedy discussion site Cook'd and Bomb'd, one fan told how Wood offered her a 'VIP ticket' for £800.
Is it possible that they have hired him for the evening, and he's just doing a corporate gig for them, rather than having donated to them or become a member or anything?
I hope not that would be worse putting in the Jimmy Carr league of hypocricy
It seems as if his name has been used without his consent for this? Some scam or other to try and rope people in?
Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. I hope we found out more because this was one of the stranger stories I've read in the Showbiz section in quite a while!
Would it be less "evil" if he was raising money for Christianity or Islam?
As strange and sinister as Scientology is, there's no reason to single it out when established religions/cults/faiths (all effectively the same thing) raise enormous amounts of money and are responsible for far more pain and suffering today and in history than Scientology, as I explained on the other thread.
It is however a cult based on the mad ramblings of an idiot, its a cult that abuses and intimidates and covers up scandals galore.
Scientologists are scum and the cult can be compared to the shitiest shite in the land
Saying that I was tempted to join as they had a well fit woman in their ranks I so wanted to bang, trouble was she was already banging every other member.:o

Nope, just one. He has stated on his Facebook page he is doing nothing of the sort.
Nice to be judged by many here based on one link though huh.

Hmm, I'm now wondering whether I need to re-judge him based on your 'one link'. This forum stuff can be confusing at times. ;-)
Do you know what, I'm going with you on this one Bibi. I am officially back to just the one reason to dislike him now.
He's a still an unfunny pr*ck though.
I'm delighted to hear Russell isn't doing this gig
