Is it correct that Live at the Apollo has lost about 96% of its audience?

[@beckyenglish4783]

Well, I understand it’s lost a LOT...too much focus on hitting minority targets, not enough on booking funny people.

[@Ethanolamine]

This guy really is underrated. He needs to be on TV more. Sick of watching lefties moan about Brexit and 'the gender pay gap'

[@leonisnothere2083]

I agree with the gender pay gap bullshit but why is Brexit only a lefty thing? Everyone in Britain talks about it, especially my dad (who is 100% right wing)

[@Ethanolamine]

@@leonisnothere2083I think what I should've said was remoaners and that they imply, amongst other things, a lack of intellect towards people who voted leave. I went to a James Acaster gig last year because I think he is funny, but throughout the gig there were several pops about leavers and I just didn't wanna hear it. Why aren't people just fucking dealing with it instead of whining about it.

[@paranoidAndroid23]

Soooo, are you saying the gender pay gap doesn't exist or that it doesn't matter that it exists?

[@rachelhannan5949]

He’s talking about a particular sect of the left-wing middle class- I am a democratic socialist and I would def agree with the teacher if my daughter was being disruptive.

[@BaffledAlways]

wouldn't even call it a left wing thing! I think he's funny but I don't think it's a left wing vs right wing thing. I can see other comedians like Greg Davies, who also used to be a teacher, making the same jokes

[@hollowaysteve]

I don’t even think this clip shows his comedy to be left or right. It’s just comedy. If anything I think it’s a comment on millennial parents.

You beautifully prove the gag with the second thing you say in yr initial comment - Hilarious and I thank you.

Give it five minutes, Rachel Hannan will speak up. Lighten up man. Oh I'm sorry I forgot, you're an Democratic Socialist.

[@praveeshachapman677]

He doesn't actually make right wing jokes, he takes the piss out of the fact that he's an uncommon "right-wing" comedian, kind of indirectly making him left wing.

[@alecneate76]

He just makes jokes about life a lot of the time. No-one does that anymore.

[@lukegale7812]

What did he say that was right-wing or controversial? He seemed to talk sense. In general though, the reason that there are so few right-wing comics is because as a comic you have your finger on the pulse. Being right wing is not having your finger on the pulse. I mean, think about it, there's enough idiots that would pay to watch their drivel, so why isn't their more?

[@praveeshachapman677]

The fact you only focus on left wingers being triggered by his jokes, rather than finding the humour in the jokes he makes, actually shows you to be a bigger snowflake.

[@TheCJsamson]

Is this guy right wing!? 😲 No Way! He never mentions it Maybe he should use the fact he’s right wing to his benefit somehow 🤔 by, I don’t know 🤷 basing 95% of his tired act around that one fact perhaps? Something to consider Norcott 🙄
