I hardly think a set in Redding California is going to make anyone famous.

From what I can gather, these days comedians are only allowed to make fun of Trump. Any other target will get you a bump on the noggin.

Leftists are angry humorless people, who given the opportunity just need the smallest trigger to go off. They invented “microagression” as a way to deflect blame for their lack of self control.

Maybe we need comedy ofr the woketards, which would be none, and then comedy that would not let in anyone from protected social groups and classes. For their own safety.
