I'm sure the Examiner's columnist Terry Prone will be writing about this, especially why she discounted the matter in 2014.

His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”
