Talk about damning with faint praise. What a qualification. The best conservative comedian. The very best. Of all the thousands of conservative comedians doing the circuit? That's like being called the tallest dwarf in the village when you're the only dwarf in the village.
The problem of conservative comedians is twofold, one, there is no joke to make about the extreme righting actions of the present conservatives, two, Johnson and his gang handle all their actions as jokes and when caught as such they start lying, more and more.
Have you actually heard yourself. You should probably come to an understanding of what a comedian is and does. You seem such a sad humorless soul, so I doubt you're going to understand comedy in it's true sense. A good comedian can make a joke out of virtually ANY situation.

Dear Channel 4, Please fix your comment section auto-shadowbanning ANY comment with a few socio-economic/political terms. i'm literally trying to have a discussion with someone and my replies even after being edited twice, just won't go through. Its extra annoying because, dang it, I'm right and trying to educate this person lol So, thanks for that! >:(

You are NOT as smart as you think you are and your comments are not the godsend to humanity you think they are. Shut up, humble yourself, and engage your brain cells in some quiet reflective time.
"Conservative comedian" is a nonsense; more american style culture-war BS. Either his jokes aren't about anything political or, those that are, are punching-down, wilfully ignorant rantings that make people laugh out of spite or disgust. Comedy should be the friend to and the weapon of, the downtrodden. To say 'conservative comedian' is an admission of status-quo warriorism.
@@jasonandlynnechambers3420 Nonesense. Not all political views are equal or even valid. Give me an example of a joke that is funny AND cuts through say, anti-slavery laws (since thats super woke, right?). You can't. Because even if you could, why would you want to... its profoundly suspicious that you would.
What makes you think conservatives aren’t punching up? It’s a matter of perspective. Woke ideas are coming from the elite, they are the creed of davos man and the corporations. And as Norcott says the most disadvantaged group are white working class as they have no initiatives working for them. As the left has abandoned class.
