Summary

Count Dankula aka Mark Meechan is a Youtube comedian who was arrested after posting a video of himself training his girlfriend’s pug dog to do a Nazi salute. He has been convicted in a Scottish court of “inciting racial hatred”. We recorded this on location at Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green, London, just a couple of hours before Dankula's standup appearance at Comedy Unleashed.
