I reckon that the truth about leftwing comedians, rightwing comedians etc is that it& #39;s actually all about class. As most things in this country are.
And that the middle class has hegemonised comedy in the same way that it& #39;s wholly taken over acting and sports like cricket.
If you& #39;re middle class and doing comedy it means you& #39;ve actively turned down the idea of working in a bank or as an accountant. That means you are intrinsically much more likely to have a lefty kind of disposition.
The most popular working class comics are apolitical. I& #39;m not sure Peter Kay has ever been at all interested in politics. Just like 95% of the country and 95% of his audience.
I& #39;m not saying working class and lower middle class people are not interested in politics. But, sensibly, they& #39;re more interested in seeing a comedian who makes them laugh.
