Stand Up Comedian Joe Lycett Reveals Industry Secrets | Honesty Box

[@rambledogs2012]

They do. More than one would expect. Robin Williams for one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIjXhnRmqJiIaqs

[@nahuelma97]

I guess it's because of Robin Williams? It's still baffling to me how someone who constantly brought so much laughter and joy into the world was apparently so devoid of it himself that he felt the only solution was to take his own life. It's incredibly sad, and I think it's left a mark on most people who watch or follow comedy and we're always somewhat afraid, more or less, that someone else might be going through the same

[@Millennial_Manc]

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.

[@al201103]

I think there were two distinct aspect to Clary's act which separated him from those who had come before. One thing was the way he would deliver his innuendo style of comedy. It was so flat. Almost like "this is what you expect me to do, this is what you want, so here you are" - you know? Not saying that's how he felt. Just that style. He was also very clever with it. The other thing was the way in which he would turn his ascerbic wit on the audience. "I don't know what you're laughing at, what are you wearing? I remember that shirt when it was a deckchair....in Rhyll" He was (and still is) hilarious. And almost terrifying. And a bit beautiful. I was lucky enough to see him live a couple of times back when he was the Joan Collins Fan Club with Fanny the Wonder Dog. Twas a good time for comedy!

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.

Humour that hurts nobody exists but not every comic is willing to work hard enough to find it.

[@thenobleandmightybeaver4411]

Well, I suppose if a comedian is being 'cancelled' for telling jokes which are derogatory and people don't like it that is the market speaking. Entertainers are beholden to audiences to want to attend and pay to see their shows. If people don't like the show enough to buy tickets or albums or whatever then the show just is not that good. I hardly think it is a tragedy that there is not as much of a market for the Andrew Dice Clays of the world...because he was never very funny and relied on punching down which doesn't float my boat. No one has cancelled Doug Stanhope or Jim Jeffries for instance. Both of those comics do a lot of material around all kinds of contentious topics. They haven't been cancelled because they bring something fresh and interesting and funny to those subjects.

[@Fluttermoth]

I love Joe Lycett! Of course, humour is very subjective, but he's the perfect example of 1. How comedy can still be funny without being cruel 2. Punching Up; he never picks on anyone who's defenceless, weaker than him or who can't hit back, only people with power, money or influence

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).

He claims there's no need to worry about being cancelled because, there's always an audience out there. Yes, there is. However, despite all the support comedians such as Markus Meechan have, they'll never be invited onto T.V. shows to perform because, their humor isn't approved by the establishment. Which means, they're going to struggle to reach the heights of this privileged sod as they don't get the coverage.

[@ej5677]

Why was it dumb? There’s plenty of really dark or edgy comedy out there for all tastes. Shows like it’s always sunny are constantly pushing boundaries. And plenty of comedians like Anthony jeselnik are doing the same. Who has actually been cancelled for their jokes these days? And no, some silly 14-year old or perpetually outraged boomer on twitter don’t count.

[@Ascendancy_5566]

@@ej5677 Kevin Hart? Dave Chappelle (attempted) Jim Jefferies? (Forced to apologise) To name a few. And my original point was his wording. He said that there's plenty of non woke content out there. If people don't like woke content they don't have to watch it. But he's also advocating for woke content to become the industry standard therefore making normal content niche. The argument should be in reverse. Normal (all types of jokes) comedy is the originally woke comedy is the outlier therefore, if you don't like normal comedy there's plenty of woke comedy out there, you don't have to watch it. He's literally implying one group (his group) of comedy should be the main content and people should have to go elsewhere to watch other comedy when it realty it should be in reverse. You don't go into somebodys home and change their furniture and then say well if you don't like it there is plenty of other houses out there, you don't have to have this one

[@ej5677]

@@Ascendancy_5566 everyone you mentioned still has a thriving career? I’m not sure it constitutes cancelling, when you’re selling out shows and getting Netflix specials. That’s not how I read what he said at all. It seems more like he wants people to put some effort in to their comedy. For a lot of people, their style of comedy is just ‘the punchline is racism’ or whatever. There’s no clever subversion of expectations, no real thought to it. Just shock factor for shock factor’s sake. That just strikes me as lazy. I mean, Joe is pretty edgy himself in his comedy, so if that was what you took from what he said, would that not basically mean he would have to change his entire career?

[@Ascendancy_5566]

@@ej5677 No, I'm a fan of his have been for years, he's absolutely welcome to do his comedy and I hope he continues, but he's saying his type of comedy should be the standard and other comedy should be the niche, again, you don't come in and demand the origin changes to make room for the subgenre. Music, movies, games ect. Any form of creative expression while subversion and sub branches are welcome not at the cost of the original. He's also as you stated implying standard comedy is lazy, heavily implied Dave Chappelles comedy was lazy which if anyone agrees with.. doesn't know or respect the art of comedy As for their careers, being cancelled doesn't necessarily mean forever. Being cancelled can be any career effecting ramifications. Cancel culture itself I can't understand how it can legally exist. People are often cancelled over things that are more than legal. Yet these people face life altering repercussions. It's a form of digital vigilantism and deformation

[@ej5677]

@@Ascendancy_5566 Again, not what I read into what he said, but it’s good to get a different perspective. I just kinda don’t agree that he’s arguing for any major overhaul to comedy as an art form when frankly most comedy is dark or edgy. The slapstick or wholesome comedy styles are certainly out there, but a lot of it is certainly on the adult side. To be clear, I love dark humour that pushes boundaries. As long as it’s clever and not done just for the sake of it. I’m not saying people don’t have the right to make pure shock factor comedy and I don’t believe it would be right to socially outlaw that kind of thing. I don’t think anyone would seriously argue chapelle’s comedy is lazy. His bits on trans people which got a lot of attention were mean spirited. But again, his right to say what he thinks, even though it comes off as weaponised comedy. Genuine question, how do you personally differentiate between consequences for actions and simple online criticism? At least to me, the whole ‘cancel culture’ thing is a boogeyman. It makes news when some people get offended or outraged online. The media picks it up, usually including a few choice tweets or comments in the article. Given how social media spreads things like wildfire, it kinda seems to me that making mountains out of molehills on twitter is seen as cancelling. But like, if their career hasn’t been affected long term, how have they been cancelled? Not saying I agree with people dogpiling on someone online, it’s gross. Digital vigilantism is a perfect way to describe it, actually.
