A Perth comedian claims he has been banned from almost every venue in Western Australia for 12 months after an incident he still doesn’t fully understand.Jasky Singh said the statewide restrictions were imposed following an incident at The Gold Bar in Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields-Esperance region of the state last November. According to the Daily Mail, the ban applies to all venues using ScanTek ID scanning systems. He said he only became aware of the problem 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 even tried to go in. She said I wouldn’t be allowed into any ScanTek location until November 2026,” Singh said.“‘When she said I was banned, I was like, ‘I never go out?'”Singh is one half of a duo on TikTok known for producing street-style interviews and public “vox pop” content. He said he was filming near the venue on the night of the incident. He said he then tried to enter the bar but was stopped at the door.“We thought we were going to walk into the queue and they obviously wouldn’t let us film inside, but we thought it would give the video an interesting ending,” Singh told the Daily Mail.He said he was later told the ban was imposed after what security services described as an incident involving harassment of employees, but he disputed that account.“‘I’m just frustrated that someone decided to do whatever they wanted with their life and give me a 12-month statewide suspension,'” he said.“I didn’t even go into the venue…I was so shocked.”Singh said he contacted the private security company contracted by the venue to seek clarification but claimed he was not given clear details.“I asked them if they could explain what the charges were so I knew what they were talking about,” he said.“I tried to make sense of it, but they just hung up.”He also questioned the lack of an appeals process, saying the decision raised concerns about the fairness and accountability of the private premises banning system.“‘Give me a reason, if I do something wrong, that’s okay. I know there are consequences to being an idiot,'” he said.He said the ban has not affected his personal life but could affect his work as a content creator.A video of Singer explaining the situation went viral, attracting more than 1.4 million views. Some viewers criticized the ban and shared similar experiences, while others urged him to tell the venue’s story. Singer said he was not allowed to touch it.
