There is a huge band of comics who seem to have made a good career out of being sneering London posh boys. They get invited back again and again to all these shite quiz shows on BBC and Radio 4. They all seem to have gone to the same schools and universities and most of them are just not funny. Watching Billie Connolly recently reminded me of a time when the UK had the best, most creative, innovative comedians in the world. The broadcast comedy output these days, with a few exceptions, is pathetic.Yes it was a decent attempt to redeem himself but there are plenty of 80s/90s comedians with Oxbridge degrees who didn’t black up or make mysogynistic jokes for quick laughs, and I don’t think the old excuse that ‘times were different then’ means you have the right to preach to others now. Problem with people like Davies etc is they are never the butt of their joke, they always laugh at people not with them.
