A Perth-based comedian claims he was banned from almost every venue in Western Australia for 12 months after an incident he says he still doesn’t fully understand.Jaski Singh said the statewide ban was imposed after an incident at The Gold Bar in Kalgoorlie in the state’s Goldfields-Esperance region in November. According to the Daily Mail, the ban applies to all locations that use Scantec ID scanning systems. He said the issue came to his attention months later when he tried to enter another venue for a friend’s event and was refused entry at the door.“I showed my ID and (the lady at the door) looked so surprised that I was even trying to go in. She said I was not allowed to go into any Scantec location until November 2026,” Singh said.“When he said I was banned, I said, “I never go out?”Singh is part of a duo known for creating street-style interviews and public “vox pop” content on TikTok. He said that on the night of the incident he was making a film near the venue. He said he later attempted to enter the pub but was stopped at the door.Singh told the Daily Mail, “We thought we’d walk the line, they obviously wouldn’t let us film inside, but we thought it would make a funny ending to the video.”He said he was later told the ban was imposed over what security said was an incident involving harassment of staff, although he denies this claim.“I’m disappointed that a person decided to take whatever time they have and impose a statewide ban on me for 12 months,” he said.“I didn’t even get to the venue… I was incredibly shocked.”Singh said he contacted the private security company contracted for the venue to seek clarification, but claims he was not given a clear explanation.“I asked if they could explain what any of these allegations were so I could know what they were talking about,” he said.“I was trying to understand any logic and they hung up.”He also questioned the lack of an appeals process and said the decision raised concerns about fairness and accountability in private venue ban systems.“‘Give me a reason and if I did something wrong, that’s OK. I understand there are consequences for being an idiot,'” he said.He said that the ban has not affected his personal life, but his work as a content creator may be affected.Singh’s video explaining the situation has since gone viral, garnering over 1.4 million views. Some viewers criticized the ban and shared similar experiences, while others urged them to present the venue’s side of the story. Singh said he has not been given access to it.
