To be fair, quite a lot of left-wing or liberal stand-up is also dire. The only one of the ones mentioned in the link I'd heard of is Doyle, and then only really through his Titania McGrath Twitter character. Just looked at a couple of videos of the others, and I think it's fair to predict the show is going to be as bad as you'd expect of government-prescribed stand-up. But then Radio 4 has always had 'anti-wokeists' on - most of them at the helm of its flagship daily news programme.

Never heard of any of them ! I'm quite happy with a bottle of red and Father Ted repeats....me and the kids enjoy taking the piss out of their mum's accent 😁

It's cute how anti-wokeists need their own special safe space for views that you can hear in any pub in the country, and then they call it Unsafe Space. I guess irony isn't their thing.

Turns out Kearse is a failed candidate (not that there's any other kind) for Lozza's Reclaim Party. His schtick seems to be YouTube rants at camera containing little in the way of jokes or comedy writing. Shall we just remind ourselves that when Lozza whipped his guitar out he imagined he was going to sound like Leonard Cohen?

Matt Forde? Not really right wing by the standards of Doyle and co, but definitely a bellend.

Yebbut there's a high risk of someone rolling their eyes at them, and even handing them a 'Kill the Bill' leaflet, if they try to play their trade in public nowadays.
Paper cuts are no laughing matter you know..

You're forgetting she's an actor.
And might there be other reasons someone well-off might flinch at an act of proportionate generosity by someone very well off?
