Is comedy being attacked in the US? Famous comics reveal why they don’t bow down to left-wing gatekeepers

Considering that comedy is considered the hallmark of a free society, “Tucker Carlson originals‘ examines how many pranksters are forced to defend their gigs while left-wing gatekeepers target comics for making politically incorrect remarks.

Countless celebrities, TV shows and companies have been “canceled” in recent years. Largely driven by awakened ideology, cancel culture is a form of modern day banishment in which the loudest voice attempts to signal a public boycott based on specific ideas or perspectives.

However, one industry is under constant attack: comedy.

Vinnie Brand, who owns The Stress Factory Comedy Club in New Jersey and starred in the Fox Nation episode, told Carlson he got into the business to allow comedians to say what they really feel.

“As comics, our job is to take the rough water and make fun of it,” Brand told Tucker Carlson. “So if we can’t do that for you, maybe you shouldn’t necessarily go to a comedy club because that’s where the comics should be free to say what they want to say and let the market decide if it’s good or.” bad is .”

Brand-known participants should not pay attention to this comedian determine their morals.

“If you came here to have your morals or ethics or to get educated, you should know that as a cohort we are some of the dumbest people on the planet,” he joked. “That’s why we’re comedians, okay? Therefore we are not lawyers and doctors and we are not scientists. We are all flawed in some way.”

Comedian Adam Carolla, who hosts one of the world’s most popular podcasts, has spoken openly about how censorship is taking comedians funny stuff.

“As a comedian, you don’t want to get in a position where you can’t say what you think because that’s the death of a comedian,” he told Fox Nation. “‘You think that, you say that.’ I feel like they’ve had their first blood drawn, you know. When they leave… “You’ve changed.”… You think I’ve changed, but I haven’t. You have changed. You’ve gone mad!”

While mainstream late-night anchors often bowed to the left’s sanctioned material, stand-up comic Jimmy Dore argued a comedian’s role is to show why the system is flawed.

“Comedy is meant to show where the establishment narrative is wrong,” he said, “and what comedians started doing was forwarding the status quo and starting to … embrace censorship.” It’s the opposite of comedy.”

Humorist Jim Norton summarized the problems many of his peers see in difficult crowds across the country:

“The problem is the whole country, we are 300 million hall guards and spies and gossips,” he said. “I don’t give a TED talk. My job is to be funny on stage. Stop trying to be smarter than you. Stop pretending you’re the voice of reason we all need to hear. Shut your mouth .”
