New tour kicks out against 'PC garbage'

Andrew Lawrence’s foray into clean controversy-free comedy has been short-lived.

For last year’s show, the bête noire of the stand-up world promised a show with ‘no politics, no religion, no smut, no swearing’.

However, his next tour will mark a return to his assault on the liberal left.

Sarcastically titled The Pale, Male & Stale Tour, the blurb promises ‘an antidote to the comedy world’s smug, faux-liberal orthodoxy’ as he presents ‘possibly most offensive jokes you’ve ever heard’.

‘No braying self-righteous wokeness. No angry, finger-pointing delusions of inequality. No PC garbage,’ the show promises. ‘Just big laughs and a great night out.’

Lawrence became a comedy pariah in 2014, when he launched an attack on ‘liberal back-slapping panel shows like Mock the Week’ featuring ‘ageing, balding, fat men, ethnic comedians and women-posing-as-comedians…  taking a supercilious, moralising tone, pandering to the ever-creeping militant political correctness of the BBC with their frankly surreal diversity targets.’

Sky subsequently made a documentary about the incident called The Outcast Comic.
