A comedian is under fire from QUB students for making jokes about rape at a gig at Queen's Students' Union.
Tom Stade, a Canadian who now lives in Edinburgh, played at Queen's Comedy Club on Wednesday evening.
Stade, who has appeared on British comedy shows such as Mock the Week and Live at The Apollo, begins a UK tour next week.
Among those to hit out was Sarah Wright (27), a final year politics student who attended the gig.
As a victim of rape, she felt uncomfortable with some of his jokes.

There will be no more rape jokes after Hillary. Google for rape joke again Jan 1. It will be a felony to post one.

I think the comedian's response was thoughtful and considered. Dark subject matter is always ripe for the picking when it comes to humour.
FFS - I frequent a Titanic forum and members there still get their knickers in a twist over jokes about the disaster.

Timing is everything. In the delivery of a punchline as well as the point at which a suitable interval has elapsed.
