I’m generally left-learning and I enjoy the usual left-leaning comedians - you know, TDS, Colbert, Kimmel and the likes.
But I also pride myself on being open-minded and listening to all sides, and I don’t know any good right-leaning comedians. And ya know, if it’s funny, I’ll laugh at anything said by anyone.
So please make suggestions! Whose jokes and commentaries are worth listening to?
And in case it wasn’t clear, this is NOT flamebait: I’m genuinely looking for good comedy material from comedians on the side of the political spectrum I’m not on, for my own education.
Please don’t watch chappelle as people are suggesting. Dude is a transphobic bigot. He can’t go 5 minutes without “waaah the trans waaah the woke are cancelling me actually I am the winner here that’s why I talk about these same topics every show”
There aren’t really any currently, honestly.
Bill Burr (who isnt actually a conservative) still tells “politically incorrect” or mocking progressive comedy kinds of jokes, without actually being shitty or hateful, so he might come closest. But even he is fairly progressive really, or at least he tries to be.
Here’s a video about it for ya.
And it gets to the point at around 50 minutes.
Haven’t watched it yet, but I suspect it comes down to punching up vs. punching down, correct?
Others mention Chappelle here, and I want to just mention, I did watch his last special with an open mind, and I just want that hour back.
It was depressing on a couple of levels. But most importantly (for a comedian) I didn’t find it even a little bit funny.
I like a good bit of dark comedy, and tragedy plus time, and all that.
But Dave Chappelle should pay for a therapist in private, instead of wasting my time.
Conservative art is always bullshit.
