And whilst I’ve only seen her via YouTube on an occasional basis, I am not comfortable with the label ‘comedy’ here. I guess John Oliver is another one. These shows are political and are often out to make a point first and foremost. Humour happens to be the method. They are not there just to be funny or they’d be writing sitcoms or doing ‘straight’ standup. What will be missed by her cancellation is not her comedy, but her attacks on things that NEED to be attacked; her pointing out of fuckwittery or injustice or hypocrisy that NEED to be pointed out.
Are the other cancellations just accountant-led rationalisations or is there a corporate cancellation of people with strong viewpoints going on?
