That's what he meant by "I love a party with a happy atmosphere". He was clearly talking about the Tory party. Him & Boris can often be found dancing in the cool night air!

That song is now my earworm again...
 
Does Frankie Boyle not have any self awareness or understanding of hypocrisy?

He criticized Ricky Gervais for making a joke about Caitlyn Jenner. Boyle over the years has made some awful jokes about trans people.

Not sure why the Beeb have completely ignored some of the horrid bile this tramp has come out with and decided to stick him on the regular pay roll.

Is this the same Frankie Boyle that made a joke about Katie Price’s disabled son raping her?

He’s had a personality transplant since then so he could keep in with the BBC.

Years ago, he’d have laughed his head off at that sort of stuff, he’d have been championing Gervais on his last Global Glove presentation.

And yet Gervais’ joke about Jenner was funny.

I loved that last stand-up from Gervais. Thought he was spot on.

Serious question, are there actually any genuinely funny right-wing comedians in this country?!

Maybe not, I don’t know of any, but I think this is about getting rid of the overemphasis on left wing comedy that’s abundant at the moment. Not so much getting more right wing comedy on the tele, but just getting rid of the woke stuff which leaves a lot of us straight-faced or even rolling our eyes, and just getting more neutral or taking the piss out of woke comedy on there that has nowt to do with the right.
 
Not sure what is meant by right wing comedians. People with obviously right wing views (racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic or the such which isn’t remotely funny or acceptable) or people who make fun of the right wing? But isn’t the first rule of comedy the ability to take the piss out of yourself first?

That would be far right views. Most of the right wing has nothing to do with racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia and the such.

Do you find she’s trying to be funny while also being pretentious about how much she cares about social issues, thus making her unfunny?

I find her fine in many ways, as for her comedy, I see no difference to what I watched on friday night live in the 80s, but then what was classified as "right on" comedy would now be called woke.

Silly labels that really are pointless.


Tbf though I find Nish to be an annoying **** half the time and only really enjoy tge two fake newcasters segmemt
