Writer and comedian Andrew Doyle, behind the Jonathan Pie and Titania McGrath characters, gives his take on the woke movement of today. Doyle takes apart modern comedy and the woke movement who seek to censor and prevent freedom of speech. Doyle speaks to The Sun’s Steven Edginton for ‘Burning Questions’, a series of interviews you can watch every Thursday afternoon.

Decent man of good will, but naive and wrong. Woke-ists are Marthusians. They believe in suppressing the majority so that the minority opinion has a chance to be considered. This is fascist claptrap, and the social justice warriors are NOT good people. Good people don't beat on old men.

“comedy” has ceased to be funny

Comedians now think they are TED talkers or cheerleaders.

I make one exception. Bill Burr. He (so far) hasn’t bent a knee to the mob.

I wonder about Ron White. Haven’t heard/seen him in a while, but he doesn’t seem to be the type to cave.

Thanks. I enjoyed him years ago, but last time I heard him he was super raunchy. It would be interesting to hear him now.

Ron White is dirty. He has shows on Youtube and Netflix and I have to turn down the sound at parts...
Women comedians on Netflix are even worse!

When he was on with Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall, White was hilarious. I’m sure he had to keep it clean for that. When we’ve seen him solo, we have to turn him off. Totally disgustin.
