An Open Letter to Woke Comedians!
-For the Uncensored!
This is an open letter that I most proudly declare is my greatest letter that I will write. The idea of comedy is sacred to me as it is an art form that shines a light on taboo subjects to laugh and have an open discussion about what makes us feel bad or upset. Comedy is medicine to people who have to work back breaking jobs. Comedy is the anti-establishment and not the establishment. If being a comedian means I have to wear a suit and tie, that’s not what comedy is. It’s not Trevor Noah, who is the worst comedian and the insult to the word itself. But being woke is only profitable to a limited group of people. Those woke comedians will be paid heavy at the forefront, but they know they are going to lose so much of their audience trying to win over the Twitter-verse, a fringe group that doesn’t care about art, technique, or the way art must stand apart from polite conversation.
I get that comedy isn’t for everyone. I don’t personally like Amy Schumer, Hannah Gadsby, Kathy Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg, Lilly Singhs brand of comedy. The canned laughter so prevalent to make the world think a live audience was watching from the 90’s is still in use, but it proves the jokes are flat and dull. Making the canned laughter awkward. It’s the only thing keeping Trevor Noah awake in his Daily Show routines.
To pretend that “you know, right” humor is still funny is the most absolute dreadful testimony a braindead society can offer. It’s a society that only wants a mirror, and not to be provoked or proven they are wrong. And this is coming from establishment media figures who were once funny people. A long time ago perhaps. But this isn’t a society I cling to.
But being so company orientated is not where comedy is. It’s when a person can feel uncomfortable and you can laugh, is where comedy is. Because a stage comedian is saying things you might not agree with, because comedy used to be edgy. When it still had an erection. But woke comedians are a neutered version of what society is. It’s celebrating fay culture like Andy Samberg, is part of the problem.
According to Nick Dixon of in a sp!ked,com article “Why Woke Comedy is so unfunny,” in regards to a show, Shrill, as “it is a short scene wherein a young white woman goes to a hairdresser and asks for dreadlocks. The black female hairdresser tells her why she can’t have them, explains the concept of ‘cultural appropriation’, then kicks her out.”[1]
Now, I get it. People think that making fun of white people is okay. I get that it’s idiotic to actually think other races can be racist. According to white woke lefties. But I come from an era when everyone is a target. Not just Republicans.[2]
But we come to another issue of woke comedy. Woke comedians crew can’t make fun of themselves. Probably because they are indebted to Jeffrey Epstein and living on a new pedo island somewhere. So, the comedians can’t offend the billionaire pedophiles who own them and their work. Until woke comedians learn to laugh, and make fun of themselves, and their tribe, I’m not going to pay or laugh at their humor.
But the thing is, comedy is about laughter. And woke comedy leads to an early death and takes a few inches off your height. Even if you might have a big dick.
This sad unfunny generation only cares about serving the corporate group think. If you had any business in show business, and if you cared about your business, you should start making people laugh again.
I’m sure that’s fine with an all-female club, but humor is still supposed to be mean. Clean comedy is not funny. Those are now called “dad jokes” and they aren’t funny either.
So, to all the woke comedians, I have listed or not, and you’re a defender of woke comedy, I’m here to stay. Calling out this bullshit humor, and I’m not going away. Keep making your hateful bitter unfunny art. Because I’ll still be here. I’m not going away.

[2] Looking at you Bill Maher. Stop pretending that your side still didn’t sell out to woke comedy while you had to ride the waves until it didn’t work. Admit when it didn’t work and take the L. Just don’t make the same mistake the woke comedians did.
