Not so long ago we went to politicians for politics and comedians for comedy. Today, like many others, I watch politicians for amusement and listen to comedians for their political insights.
Whenever I want cheering up, I watch Kamala Harris riffing on a theme of her choice, or sometimes a Labour politician trying to explain why a woman can have a penis. By contrast Joe Rogan analyses political questions better than any of them, as does Noam Dworman, of New York’s Comedy Cellar.
Rowan Atkinson on free speech a few years ago, “When I heard of some of these more ludicrous offences & charges I remembered that I had been here before, in a fictional context…” 👏🔥 pic.twitter.com/BMuPcN4vf7
