Comedy Unleashed 

• In an ideal world, this would be the mantra of all comedy venues – if its truly funny, let it fly!
• Satire one of the oldest forms of comedy and we have come to a point in the UK, we have very few venues that would allow this experimentation w/ comedy.
• It is almost unique in that aspect.
• Many people who come are regulars b/c it is truly the only place in the UK that is truly free speech.
• Some in the crowd will come up to me and tell me I am a masogonsit or whatever and that is all good I value other peoples opinions. 
• You delivered the joke before, probably over and over so you know how that joke is going to work and you own it.
• I sometimes joke about that too, being a conservative comic is I have no one else to copy!
• The upside is you are always the funniest in the line up because there are none like you.
• Most comics are left-wing so I provide something very different.
• The Nazi routine – I make a joke about the ideal of mobile abortion clinics. 
• Even the Nazi’s weren’t this forward in their attempts.
• They only killed the Jews in areas they had fully conquered fair and square!
• They would have never driven a gas chamber to the Switzerland border and said ‘hand over your Jews’.
• I’ve done a recent routine b/c jokes and routines have a life cycle.
• It is hard to find venues to test your jokes out.
• Anglo-Italian Comedy – White Men Made Everything 
• That famous Monty Python sketch – the guy wants to be a woman
• You play it all the time, that was absurd at the time but now days it is essential doctrine.
• Millennials rejected some things that were popular 10 years ago like Friends and Sienfeld. 
• I have been to the US a couple of times.
