Chris Morris: There's good satire - and being offensive

Years before the term "cancel culture" took off and before comedians faced comeuppance for offensive tweets, Chris Morris was deemed "the most hated man in Britain." Needless to say, he's well-positioned to dig into these sensitive times -- and, unlike many comedians, he's sympathetic to them.

Comedy review: Russell Howard

The show is classic Howard. We get plenty of anecdotes about his family, a little bit of topical satire and a concerted effort to rail against 'muggles' who take offence at seemingly every little thing.
