How liberal Edinburgh comics are panning PC

Comics stand-up for the politically incorrect at Fringe

Comedy is currently more prescriptive than at any time I can remember. Prescriptive of words, of subjects, even of opinions. And that is worrying. The current industry-standard stand-up has to abide by a list of prohibitions that make a gluten-free, vegan shopping expedition seem simple. There are 328 recognised gender identities, Leo Kearse tells his packed audience, and reads a few from his phone. Canada has just passed a law making the non-use of the correct gender pronoun in any given situation an offence, he says. He thinks this is a bit much.

#EdFringe17: Andrew Doyle's Thought Crimes

Enjoy 15 minutes of stand up and chat with comedian and writer, Andrew Doyle. Probably best known as co-writer of the provocative Jonathan Pie web series, Andrew discusses the nature of offense in comedy. When did the left lose the ability to debate with those that disagree?
