Jeremy Edwards says David Walliams exposed him during 2006 stage sketch
Jeremy Edwards says David Walliams exposed him during a live Comic Relief sketch in 2006 without his consent. Edwards describes the incident as abuse and says it has caused him years of distress; his account has renewed attention on consent and the treatment of people involved in comedy performances.
Edwards says he agreed to perform a light-hearted sketch with Walliams and David Baddiel at London’s Hammersmith Apollo, before Walliams pulled down his trousers and simulated sex on him in front of about 3,500 people. The performance was recorded and later released on DVD, and Edwards says footage of similar stunts led him to believe the act had been planned. He says he has never received an apology.
