I watched Ricky Gervias latest standup on Netflix last night. He made a few jokes about women, wealth, fat people and trans.

There are some people upset about this. If you have seen any of his Golden Globs award hosting stuff. You know his jokes can cause offence. A lot of comedy works like this. Is this offensive?

“I love the new women. The new ones we’ve been seeing lately. The ones with beards and cocks. They’re as good as gold, I love ’em. No, it’s the old-fashioned ones, they go,

"Oh, they want to use our toilets.’

‘Why shouldn’t they use your toilets?’

‘For ladies!’

‘They are ladies — look at their pronouns!

What about this person isn’t a lady?’

‘Well, his penis.’

‘Her penis, you fucking bigot!’

‘What if he rapes me?’

‘What if she rapes you, you fucking TERF whore!’”

I can see how some may find it offensive. He is a bit like "marmite" You love him or hate him. I enjoyed Afterlife so much, I can probably forgive him anything.
