Poster for sausage-themed show fell foul of Transport for London rules on promoting unhealthy food
Some comics complain that their craft is under threat from “cancel culture”. For comedians with a sausage-themed standup tour, they might have a point, after Ed Gamble was forced to remove a picture of a hotdog from posters on the tube network promoting his forthcoming show because it breached Transport for London’s junk food advertising policy.
The comic was pictured with the fast-food item in an advert for his show Hot Diggity Dog. When the design was sent to TfL for display on the underground, Gamble was told to alter the poster because it failed to comply with the organisation’s advertising policy on featuring foods high in fat, sugar and salt.
