Djalili: Clever comedy can navigate cancel culture

Omid Djalili: Clever comedians can navigate cancel cultureClever comedians can navigate the so-called war on jokes with more explanation, Omid Djalili has told the BBC.

“I’ve never done more set-up in my life,” he told Hardtalk’s Stephen Sackur. Djalili said his thought process is: “I better say this before they cancel me.”

They shouldn’t have to

The begging masses longing to be limited and directed is disheartening.

Famous last words! omid9 :)

omid9 Good to hear! :)

Well yeah clever people can navigate all kinds of restrictions. Clever people could navigate blasphemy laws too. It’s not about whether they could. It’s about whether they should have to…

Why should they?

big head, inferring he's clever. What I don't get is Frankie Boyle has said far worse than Jimmy Carr. Yet the left who tend to be the cancel culture seem to give him a free pass & even like him. I suppose cus he insults people they dont like, they let him off with the other crap

To the condition you are not a white male comedian.

He makes a good point, most main stream comedian’s I believe are lazy, they avoid the issues they should be tackling head on, but instead sit on boring panel shows.
