Danny Baker was given a standing ovation at his first live show since he was sacked by the BBC for an alleged racist tweet.
The broadcaster, who appeared at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham, told the audience:"When life deals you lemons, you chuck them at the people calling you racist." He also told the crowd his pacing up and down the stage was not a way of trying to"get away from potential Lee Harvey Oswalds", in a reference to the man who assassinated John F Kennedy.on Tuesday after tweeting a comment about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son with a photo of a suited chimpanzee.
He seemed defiant on stage as he joked with the audience by saying"if anyone does want to the rush the stage, I'm a Millwall fan with a snooker cue".Reflecting on the fallout from his tweet, Baker said:"After 42 years in this racket... I'm 62 nearly now and I thought, well, retire."

That's because people like DannyBaker They dont like tax scroungers
Well done Danny, its a privilege to see you live! First class.
Oh the old default snowflake statement..... boring
This is a pure racist foto from Danny Baker prodnose....I am happy he’s being sacked. We don’t want uncivilised people like him in the BBC...
Nothing wrong with this
Love all your radio shows. You say one thing that is taken the wrong way and thats it, it is a hard world we live in the days.
Were they all Labour members/supporters?
Does this mean that every family over the past 100 years should be investigated? We're you as a child never called a cheeky monkey? The 'racist' photo was meant as a joke, give it another 5 years and we will have no laughter thanks to SJWs. Did the royals take offence to it?
Well at least he kept it clean!
Why are you saying ‘racist’? Just because people are offended doesn’t mean they’re right.
All millwall supporters
Of course he does his supporters agree with him
He's a millwall supporter what did you expect 😂😂😂😂
Who was he on the show with Nigel Farage 🤔
I genuinely didn’t connect it to racism I thought it was just a dig at royals. Im anti Royalist so that was my first thought. I did like their joy as new parents though but, no more than any other happy occasion in people’s lives.
He is an idiot and the standing ovation was probably for the ‘stupid racist of the year award’ 👏👏👏👏👏 bravo sir !
How sad is this...
And so he should as there was no intent to be racist, that image is used a lot by those attempting to bring joy to the world via the funny bone. For example, rickygervais used the image recently and said it was his 'first day at school':
well done mate keep going dont let them get to you you done nothing wrong
He's not someone we need to celebrate. Hopefully he'll quietly crawl under a rock and we'll hear no more from him.
Not surprising coming out of that drunken post Christian soon to be Muslim country.
duo much racist people out there .. real shame
What a sad joyless world its become thanks to the faux outraged online mobs
Snowflakes won’t hold this legend down!
Broadcasting legend.

Danny Baker speaks out after being sacked by BBC for ‘racist’ royal baby tweet'You never think these things are going to happen to you' Good bye racist What a sad world we live in, he makes one mistake and people want to bury him. Once he realised his error he deleted the tweet, but too late, the PC mob are always on standby looking for someone to lynch. To them an apology is not enough, they lust for 'blood' and never forgive.

BBC sacks Danny Baker over royal baby chimp tweetCorporation says veteran broadcaster’s joke was ‘a serious error of judgment’ How long until they announce Farage is taking over his saturday morning slot on 5live? Danny is thicker than I had ever hoped. Good. If he genuinely thought that was not offensive, which I question, then his lack of awareness means he needs not to be given a national platform.

'F*** 'em': Danny Baker lashes out at BBC for firing him over Royal Baby tweetThe 61-year-old compared Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor to a chimpanzee. Good on you Danny. If an MP can go to jail & then be let back into the house, why can’t Danny make a mistake also? He was sacked for a stupid (Very stupid) tweet, but by that measure should Prince Harry be sacked as a member of the royal family for turning up to a party in an SS uniform?
