Setting the bar higher for comedians, expecting them to deliver new and interesting jokes that are actually creative, not supporting lazy comedians who don’t have original material… that is a good thing. So why are people so scared of cancel culture. It’s literally just about not supporting comedians/artists/… who deliver bad, lazy, unoriginal and unfunny material. Stop whining about cancel culture please I can’t hear it anymore.

Considero la Comedia como parte de las expresiones artísticas más difíciles de dominar, en especial en vivo. Pues es una armonía fluctuantes entre lo serio y lo imprudente, el discurso y la sorpresa, la acción y el retardo, el juego y no es juego, etc. jajaja. Yo he descubierto varias cosas de la buena comedia, pero dos serían: 1. Diversifica y Conoce tus estrategias cómicas, ya que lo repetitivo y largo cansa y aburre. 2. Involucrar al Público, (evitar humillar a tu publico, ya que confían en ti para pasar un rato agradable, no para sentirse mierda), por medio de ser tu el chiste y ellos la oportunidad de qué tanto se confrontan sin exponerse a algo que los haga realmente sentir mal, y cuando suceda, jalar la atención y culpa a uno mismo por medio de la exageración y generalización de que todos lo tienen en diferentes formas. La Comedia no es solo entretenimiento, también es un descanso, una validación, un empuje para mejorar un mal momento que este viviendo la persona. (Robin Willians en Dr Patch Adams).

Julian Clary was a lot braver for his time. I don’t think that anyone could be that brave again because Julian helped to clear the path. Some people might find Joe, Graham Norton, Alan Carr etc funnier but they’re doing all of that in a much more tolerant comedy ecosystem than Clary was faced with when he started on TV. Of course there was plenty that predated Clary outside of TV, but he made the transition from the camp weak limp-wristed John Inman / Larry Grayson types to unapologetic and pervy gays in all their filthy glory.

Why not just tell people they don’t have to watch things they don’t want to and not advocate that comedians be cancelled just because some people don’t like their material. (edit was for spelling error)

As a newbie that wants to invest, you must have these three things in mind 1. Have a long term mindset. 2. Be willing to take risk. 3. Be careful on money usage, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending. 4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with a financial advisor.

Lycett is a nice guy and I like him but he is dismissing cancel culture from within his own small industry bubble. If he believes that every "edgy" comedian is the reincarnation of Bernard Manning, then perhaps he would have a case for wokeness being good for comedy, but there have been a host of up and coming comedians who have had their career progression detonated for telling mild jokes that were often misinterpreted by over anxious audience members who complained to the venue.
