So who gets the last laugh?

They aren't people I'd choose to listen to, Bobbi

[Bobbisox1]

Barry that was the 70s , you just did!

[barry1010]

I just did what?

[naomi24]

There was a thread on here a few days ago about the effect that 'Woke' is having on comedy but I can't find it. Anyone?

[Bobbisox1]

‘You just did’ colloquially speaking…
Okay, we all just did !

[douglas9401]

I had emmie down as a massive fan of Stewart Francis or Milton Jones, given her habit of endless one liners. X

[naomi24]

I would never watch Bernard Manning but not because he wasn't PC, simply because he was a coarse, foul-mouthed oaf.

[Bobbisox1]

I only say BM because he was in the 70s The Comedians , I didn’t watch his own show called the Wheeltappers &Shunters Club, I agree he was horrible

Jim Davidson, who I used to like, has all but been silenced by the 'woke' brigade !

Comedy is already finished. If anyone laughs at the right on 'comedy' the BBC dishes up today, it must be a forced laugh squeezed out for political reasons/to be a member of the right on brigade.
If you want to know what forced laughter sounds like, watch the late night 'comedy' shows in the US.
Ditto if you want to know what people who have sold their souls to the devil look/sound like.
Roy 'chubby' Brown is being driven out of comedy by council apparatchiks who know what's good for the people that pay their wages.

[burlyshirley]

I saw Roy Chubby Brown live once and yes, he is VERY rude, but I actually cried with laughter, as did the whole theatre !!

[Spicerack]

Luckily the Woke are eating themselves.
Sarah Silverperson is, unbelievably, the latest victim in the US.
The likes of J K Rowling and Graham Linehan, both leading members of the 'right on brigade' in this country being hoisted by their own petards.
How much longer will the good and the virtuous walk on eggshells, scared to express an opinion on anything lest the mob turns on them.

Mrs Lipman and those who believe her are simply being brainwashed by the media and are railing against a world which they don’t quite understand anymore.

Wake up to anti wokeist crap for gawds sake.

Well I am not surprised you wrote that!

I bet you are a barrel of laughs at parties, apart from being the punch bag.

[Spicerack]

^As I said 'comedy is already dead'.

[Ken4155]

This is turning into a "Who's your favourite/least favourite comedian?" thread.

[Untitled]

people have been whingeing about "lefty" or "p.c." and now "woke" comedy for at least 30 years... comedy hasn't gone anywhere.

[Spicerack]

'Kill all white people' Lol, comedy gold.

[Mamyalynne]

Sometimes I laugh all day, then I turn my computer off.

[Old_Geezer]

The last laugh goes to those who frequent the underground puneasies.
