So who gets the last laugh?

[emmie]

she's right..

[emmie]

this woke culture has taken the fun out of life,

[barry1010]

There are still funny comedians on the circuit and on tv. Try watching Live at the Apollo and if you want more 'traditional' stand up Roy Brown is still working.

Some current tv sitcoms make me laugh out loud - Two Doors Down and Mandy work for me.

Peter Kay is a very funny man and I miss him yet I don't he did anything to upset the 'woke'. It can be done.

[emmie]

i don't think that many at the Apollo theatre were funny, perhaps some have gone off the boil.

[emmie]

don't like Peter Kay, nor Ricky Gervais at all.

[barry1010]

I don't like Ricky Gervais but I wouldn't compare him to Peter Kay.

[emmie]

i wasn't,

[emmie]

as someone said before, comedy is subjective, what i laugh at others may not.

[Bobbisox1]

Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown get his laughs with filth , I don’t like him at all

[barry1010]

Agreed, emmie, maybe I'm easily amused. I find some episodes of Mock the Week and Have I Got News For You very funny, too - and the Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan

[emmie]

me neither Bobbi...

[barry1010]

Nor me, Bobbi, horrid man - but isn't that the sort of comedy that offends 'the woke'?

[emmie]

i still love Blackadder,

[naomi24]

She's right. There will be no last laughing. The 'woke' don't laugh.

[Deskdiary]

I'm sure they do laugh.

I suspect there'll have been a snigger or two when JK Rowling received death threats for stating 100% undeniable facts!

[Zacs-Master]

Maureen is a lovely lady. But this is alarmist bullcraaap.

[emmie]

no it isn't ZM

[Zacs-Master]

OK, give me a few examples of wokeism killing comedy.

[emmie]

too early for me, i am back to GMEB> lol

[Bobbisox1]

The Woke’s would take to their beds listening to people like Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson :0)
