Have you heard the one about the right-wing comedian? Nah – they’re all shit
The Telegraph reported that the new Director General of the BBC, Tim Davie, a man whose surname doesn’t even sound finished, is set to drastically reduce the amount of left-wing comedy on the Beeb. As a stand-up comedian, I was thrilled, finally, this might be the thing that swings this country to vote left again.Because the only thing that might make middle England stop and think, ‘Actually, you know what? Leaning towards another wave of fascism could be bad’, is watching right-wing comedians bang on about how much money they have and how the poor should all die.There aren’t many right-wing comedians (and if they are, they’re people like Jim Davidson.

Stand-up comic Geoff Norcott has weighed in after claims the BBC have struggled to find right-wing comedians who are ‘funny enough’ for their shows. It was reported this week that new BBC boss Tim Davie has threatened to axe left-wing comedy shows in a bid to present a more balanced corporation. Shows such as Have I Got News For You and Mock the Week are among those to have received complaints about their jokes against the Tories and Brexit. An insider has told The Guardian that BBC executives spent the past 18 months piling on the pressure to find Tory-friendly and pro-Brexit comedians. However, it’s said that producers have found the right-wing comics simply ‘aren’t very good’. Norcott first reacted to the reports yesterday and tweeted:
