I’m generally left-learning and I enjoy the usual left-leaning comedians - you know, TDS, Colbert, Kimmel and the likes.

But I also pride myself on being open-minded and listening to all sides, and I don’t know any good right-leaning comedians. And ya know, if it’s funny, I’ll laugh at anything said by anyone.

So please make suggestions! Whose jokes and commentaries are worth listening to?

And in case it wasn’t clear, this is NOT flamebait: I’m genuinely looking for good comedy material from comedians on the side of the political spectrum I’m not on, for my own education.

    Haven’t watched it yet, but I suspect it comes down to punching up vs. punching down, correct?

      Mostly. Also that being a reactionary asshole isn’t conducive to making people laugh or feel good in any way.

      That’s in there, certainly, but that’s not the extent of it. And despite the title, it does actually have some examples of right wing comedians who are funny.
