I love Fern. Very funny, very unique personality. She's still so underrated as a comic

[@Optix747]

She will always get my vote for the Arlene Foster jokes.

[@williamoarlock8634]

I hate Brady. Totally unfunny, very obnoxious and totally self-absorbed personality. She's totally overrated as a 'comic' and a celebrity.

[@patchso]

Absolutely love Fern’s accent. It’s a huge asset for storytelling.

[@wastyeasty8042]

Fern is so brilliant and funny. Wish Russell Kane weren't there being annoying and trying to make it all about himself.

[@VonBlade]

Is he the discount Nigel Kennedy looking mofo?

[@SaintPhoenixx]

He's built his career off doing a line of coke and then going onto stage. There's no comedy, just mental levels of energy and confidence that get old really, really fast.

[@shoelacedonkey]

I've never seen or heard of that man before (Russell Kane) but I do agree with him being so annoying and egocentrical. You'd think the autistic person would be the one not able to read the room, but in this case his misplaced jokes did the trick.

[@damientonkin]

I've done an arts degree, you get nude models for life drawing and everything and I think it's very context based. Having someone stand in front of you naked while you draw them, after a while, not weird. Standing behind them at the cafe afterwards, that's weird.

[@AliLightfoot]

Nothing quite like trying to place the familiar face approaching you on the street and realising it's because you spent an hour or more meticulously studying their naked body.

[@grahamstrouse1165]

I worked as a life model for a little while in the early 2000s. It was a fine job & it paid relatively well but it’s not what you’d call sexy. After three hours of posing you’re just tired.

[@1midnightfish]

@@AliLightfoot Nothing quite like being recognised by someone who will then say to you "Didn't recognise you with your clothes on..." nudge nudge wink wink... they've wanted to use that line so badly, for so long, that they'll say it even if it doesn't make any sense 😣 Meanwhile, I genuinely have trouble recognising most people I've modelled for unless they're standing behind an easel 😂

I can sympathise: I once filmed an art exhibition in London based around nudism and nudist culture, as I was filming the show (I was fully clothed) a group of nudists literally walked into my shot. It was good for the final video obviously but a strange one.

Fern is great. If you like her you should read her book!

[@JervisGermane]

I've been to a nudist camp with my wife, and we had a blast. I guess it's an eye of the beholder thing, but there's a pretty solid difference in my mind between sexual nudity and other kinds of nudity, and it was definitely not sexual for me. It didn't feel weird or kinky or anything; it felt honest and welcoming. And it was really cool being so accepted by what amounted to a group of strangers. I don't think I'd start advocating it for everyone else. I get that it's not for everyone. But I'd do it again anytime, and if you're considering it, give it a try.

[@dalluc]

Man what a clickbaity title lol. She explicitly said she wasn't naked doing it. Also there is nothing "confusing" about being attracted to a woman that makes you laugh. That's like one of the most attractive traits in a person AFAIC

[@gilwood7530]

Be glad Johnny Vegas wasn't at that gig ....something tells me he would have accepted the challenge

[@Seven-Seas-of-Baba-O-Riley]

I was looking through the comments hoping someone from the audience might've given their perspective, but you know, I'm not entirely sure where a nudist would even put a phone.

[@damightyshabba439]

OK, I'm a bit pissed off with the thumbnail link to this video. Yes, Fern was an "exotic dancer" for three years. I'm sure she got up to all sorts of shit doing that. BUT... Her story here is NOT about being naked doing a gig. Its about the audience being naked, when she was not. Click bait, and degrading to the person you are "promoting". If you watch the show she is actually very slow to talk about what happened... to her. Whilst the content of this video is good.. How about we remove "NAKED" and so on? The woman has history, so what? But this story does not even tap on that. Its about doing a gig to a load of nudists, whilst fully dressed. A very missleading link, which only harms her.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

this convinced me that there is a definite untapped niche of nudist furniture just waiting to be explored. Now to convince them they need it.

I don’t know if they were to concerned with joking around, but some of what she said seemed to go right over there heads… when she was talking about everyone naked it’s normal for them and buddy said after ten years he still gets all loopy when his woman walks by naked, but if she doesn’t wear clothes obviously it’ll become normal quickly

[@carolmurphy7572]

[@BongMetal]

[@brinsonopinion]

This guy in the red shirt is a knob. I mean all he did was make clear that he really has a problem with nudity & the maturity level of a 12 yr old. The big dude wasn't much better. I felt bad for Fern because she was trying to tell an interesting story that actually had some value & she wasn't going for the cheap gags.

[@clickrick]

Red shirt: Russell Kane. I'd not seen him before. I've noted his name as one to skip past. "big dude" is Al Murray.

[@siiiriously3226]

"if all are naked, noones naked." is a metaphor. not literal. 🙄 and as someone who grew up in europe and with parents who went to sauna and nudist beaches regularly i totally agree. mostly it just becomes normal to be nude if everyone is. i don't get why bodies have become so sexzalized and objectified yet shamed at the same time, that that's all that people can think of.

[@anyacarter9975]

I'm not sure if you're aware, but autistics are very literal. I know because I am one. I think the objectification, shame, and sexualization of human physiology is something America inherited from Britain. I certainly wish this wasn't the case; the world would be a better place if everyone could reach a point where they were happy in their own skin.

[@wongkit9579]

[@bikkiikun]

"If everyone's naked, no one's naked"... philosophically it's true, because it removes the special / scandalous status of nudity. It's similar to the phrase on Homosexuality in ancient times... "Everyone's gay, so no one's gay". Every man has a male lover (Achilles had Patroclos, Alexander had Hephaestion, Hercules had Philoctetes, etc., etc.), so there is nothing "different" or gay about it.

[@danielcopeland3544]

As a naturist I'm somewhat shocked that this bar doesn't require nude patrons to bring a towel or similar to sit on for hygienic purposes. That is absolutely required in any naturist context I've ever been in. In my experience it's not so much "when everyone's naked no-one is," so much as "the moment you truly accept in your head that this is not a sexual situation, the 'ewwww' feeling immediately evaporates."

[@therealxunil2]

@@Arikayx13 Lots of people say things in comment sections because they know it will get ridiculous reactions from people who can't just roll their eyes and keep scrolling. I'm certain there are men who think women aren't funny. I'd imagine there are also women who would say the same. Just as I know there are men and women who would say men aren't funny, and they are all entitled to their opinions, and a lot of it is based on what they've been presented with. If the only female comedians I'd seen were Sue Perkins, Sandi Toksvig and Catherine Tate, I'd probably come to the conclusion that women weren't funny, just like I'd feel the same way about men if all I saw was Russell Howard, Josh Widdecombe, and Michael McIntyre. I find some women funny and I find some men funny. There are also lots of women and men I don't find funny, and I think if people were really honest, they'd say the same.

[@notme222]

Of course on social media I've seen people be obnoxious to any group, and female comedians get a lot of it. Sometimes the criticisms aren't even relevant to the material in the clip, and I have to wonder if they clicked the video purely to complain. But back to the topic here, that woman was saying men are aroused by comedy but refuse to admit it. Which is a really weird claim. First because she says it like it's a big number of people, which I doubt. And second, toxic people have no problem committing to that attitude. So I think she was leaping to conclusions to complain about men who complain about her. Which just fuels the ongoing cycle. Don't stereotype, which also means don't stereotype the people you think are doing it.
