Tell the wrong joke at the wrong time, and that next gig may suddenly vanish.\u00a0<\/span><span>Nice career you have there. It\u2019d be a shame if something happened to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Most stand-ups act accordingly, either self-censoring their material or leaning into the progressive zeitgeist like Stephen Colbert and Marc Maron have done. The latter hope it will insulate them from any \u201cproblematic\u201d jokes from their past. We\u2019ll see.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The following comics, by comparison, are counter culture to the core.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>These joke hurlers go wherever the funny leads them. They brush off Cancel Culture attacks, knowing there are enough people who still crave jokes that prioritize laughter over clapter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ryan Long<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>This Canadian import is the unofficial king of unwoke comedy. The biggest case in point? His viral video, \u201cWhen Wokes and Racists Actually Agree on Everything.\u201d He\u2019s aggressively apolitical, but he sees comic gold in the Identity Politics space, and he acts accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tim Dillon<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Remember Howard Stern, or at least the older model who said whatever came to mind? That\u2019s what it feels like to hear \u201cThe Tim Dillon Show,\u201d a podcast that\u2019s alternately dark and hilarious. Dillon is gay, but he doesn\u2019t want your protection. He leans to the Right at times, but don\u2019t dare call him a conservative. He\u2019s got his comedy playbook in a death grip, and he dares anyone to snatch it away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>JP Sears<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>This faux healer is a one-man army against the woke agenda. He\u2019s more brazenly political than some, but Sears uses his genteel shtick to push back against the progressive agenda. Hard. He\u2019s actively mocking all things woke, from trans swimmers to the Thought Police. And he does it with a sheepish grin that says, \u201cJust try and stop me. You can\u2019t.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Sebastian Maniscalco\/Pete Correale<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Maniscalco sells out major arenas. Correale is a go-to scribe for shows like Netflix\u2019s \u201cThe Crew\u201d and CBS\u2019s \u201cKevin Can Wait.\u201d Together, they share plenty about their off-screen lives on \u201cThe Pete &#038; Sebastian Show,\u201d or, \u201cThe Cast\u201d as they call it. The show isn\u2019t political, but the pair do deep dives on the culture sans apology. They\u2019d rather share universal truths than worry about any stepped-on toes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tyler Fischer<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The co-star of The Daily Wire\u2019s \u201cTerror on the Prairie\u201d turned his back on traditional Hollywood. Why? He realized the Hollywood ecosystem wouldn\u2019t let him say what he wanted to say, or embrace freedom like his comic predecessors once did. The result? A booming digital following, a rising film career and fans who appreciate his riotous take on mask mandates, Dr. Fauci and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Chrissie Mayr<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>This bawdy comic named her recent comedy album \u201cLive from January 6<\/span><span>th<\/span><span>.\u201d \u2018nuff said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Derek Richards<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The cancer survivor got canceled for the silliest reasons possible by \u201cWill &#038; Grace\u201d star Debra Messing. That hasn\u2019t silenced his humor or spirit, and his \u201cA Drink with Derek\u201d podcast showcases his wit and willingness to avoid woke theatrics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Michael Loftus<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Few artists fight the Culture Wars with more vigor than Loftus. The comedian\/podcaster\/sitcom scribe took part in the recent Deplorables comedy tour, giving the other half of the country something to laugh about. Now, he\u2019s fighting \u201cSaturday Night Live\u2019s\u201d progressive agenda with \u201cThat Show Tonight,\u201d a right-leaning sketch series echoing that show\u2019s political satire, but with laughs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Steve McGrew<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>This hellbent Southern gent has been poking the progressive bear since Bill Clinton lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW. Now, he\u2019s taunting the woke mob with YouTube characters like Liberal Larry and creating comedy albums with titles like \u201cToxic Masculinity.\u201d Fearless and funny, McGrew spends most days in Facebook jail for telling jokes he\u2019s not allowed to tell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Steven Crowder<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The comic backs up his right-leaning bluster with piles of research and his rat-a-tat-tat delivery. It\u2019s what a comic broadcaster needs to stand up to the woke Left. That, and a thick skin while conducting his signature \u201cChange My Mind\u201d public stunts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Anthony Cumia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The \u201cOpie and Anthony\u201d alum could have called it a career when SiriusXM canceled him in 2014 following an altercation some called racially charged. Instead, Cumia read the comedy tea leaves and created a safe space for comedians to tell their jokes, their way. His Compound Media perch lets like-minded souls crack wise without a net. Cancel Culture can\u2019t touch him now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dave Landau<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>You don\u2019t spend time yukking it up with Cumia without it impacting your comic worldview. The former \u201cAnthony Cumia Show\u201d co-host may lean to the left, but he\u2019s aghast at how woke has impacted not just comedy but the culture at large. Now, he\u2019s part of the \u201cLouder with Crowder\u201d podcast family, delivering killer putdowns that either mock or ignore the woke bylaws.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>John Cleese<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>He\u2019s an icon and a Monty Python legend who hasn\u2019t lost an ounce of his wit or comedy knowledge. So when he declares war on the woke Left, which he does on Twitter and elsewhere, it matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ricky Gervais<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cCancel me. I dare you,\u201d cried Gervais in recent interviews. He doesn\u2019t care. He\u2019s old school that way, understanding a culture that handcuffs court jesters isn\u2019t one worth saving. Few comedians are as funny, or as unrelenting in their attacks on the woke mindset, than the \u201cAfter Life\u201d star.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/tv\/news\/ricky-gervais-armageddon-tour-cancelled-b2004846.html<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Adam Carolla<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Call him the anti-Kimmel. Yes, Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s bromance fueled four seasons of Comedy Central\u2019s \u201cThe Man Show.\u201d Kimmel now follows the woke bylaws on ABC\u2019s \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d while Carolla\u2019s podcast and stand-up material won\u2019t bow to the progressive Left. And if you\u2019re waiting for the \u201cLoveline\u201d alum to apologize for a given joke, don\u2019t bother. It\u2019s not in his DNA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bill Burr<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The Boston comic has carved out a career as a witty character actor, but he\u2019s best known for telling it like it is on stages nationwide. His 2019 \u201cPaper Tiger\u201d Netflix special captured Burr at his irreverent best, swatting sacred cows and dismantling woke scolds with humor and heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dave Chappelle<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The \u201cChappelle Show\u201d star knew the woke mob had him in its sights before he recorded the 2021 Netflix special, \u201cThe Closer.\u201d He dared to joke about the trans community anyway, doing so with tremendous empathy. The Cancel Culture mob attacked all the same, temporarily shutting down his upcoming documentary and threatening his Netflix ties. Except the streaming giant actually had his back, hiring him for more comedy projects. He emerged stronger than ever, showcasing what it requires to thrive in our woke dystopia \u2014 Courage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Joe Rogan<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>He\u2019s the biggest podcaster in the country, and he refuses to do as told by the press and far Left, but we repeat ourselves. Yes, he unwisely apologized for uttering the n-word years ago (never said in a vicious way, and his critics weren\u2019t satisfied). He still emerged from his recent Cancel Culture fight stronger than ever. Why? He won\u2019t back down, and he refuses to follow the progressive Left\u2019s playbook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dennis Miller<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe Dennis Miller Option\u201d is no more, but the \u201cSNL\u201d alum still graces stand-up stages across the country to crack wise like only he can \u2013 just bring a dictionary. He never bought into the woke template, understanding the best comedy is based in truth and honesty, not illogic on steroids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Lou Perez<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The author of the upcoming \u201cThat Joke Isn\u2019t Funny Anymore\u201d is the antidote to all things woke. He\u2019s savvy and quick, and his best YouTube videos with We the Internet TV dissected the woke hysteria better than anyone could.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Greg Gutfeld<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>You don\u2019t get to intermittently dethrone Stephen Colbert by echoing his woke agenda. Gutfeld is too smart, too willing to ignore cultural boundaries for that. The result? His Fox News brand bloomed anew with his late-night program, which skewers the woke left early and often.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Jimmy Failla<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The \u201cFox Across America\u201d radio host doubles as a \u201cGutfeld\u201d regular, and for good reason. He\u2019s quick witted, eager to reach across the political aisle and yet unwilling to play by the Left\u2019s rules. And if you miss funny late-night monologues his Twitter feed is your salvation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Andrew Doyle<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Doyle\u2019s \u201cFree Speech Nation\u201d podcast delivers exactly what it promises, but it\u2019s his alter ego who earned his place on this list. Titania McGrath is the ultimate Social Justice Warrior, spreading her woke bromides across her 686K strong Twitter flock. And it\u2019s Doyle, word for word, mocking woke types such as this through his sarcastic persona.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Nick Di Paolo<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>This Boston native has a word (or two) for the woke mob, and they can\u2019t be printed here. His podcast reveals his no-nonsense approach to comedy, giving audiences a taste of humor before the Fun Police stepped in. He may have moved to the South, but that Beantown edge permeates his gags.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Terrence K. Williams<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>He might be President Donald Trump\u2019s biggest fan. He also knows he\u2019s not \u201csupposed\u201d to be so conservative given his skin color, at least to the hard Left. Williams shrugs off those expectations, focusing on his considerable online flock and chipper stage presence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Adam Yenser<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>How do you survive as part of \u201cEllen\u2019s\u201d writing staff? Be funny. Be brave. And know that others think like you do, too. It\u2019s been Yenser\u2019s approach for some time, and why he\u2019s now creating killer content for both The Babylon Bee and his own \u201cCancelled News\u201d YouTube series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kvon<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Meet the two sides of this Persian-American comic. On stage, he\u2019s mostly clean and willing to share stinging observations we can all enjoy. He uses his podcast and Instagram perch to flex his right-leaning views and willingness to shred the woke bylaws as needed. Both Kvons are funny and thoughtful, showing a keen understanding of how the digital landscape works.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Josh Denny<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>How many times can a comedian get canceled? Denny might eventually find out. He\u2019s all sharp elbows on social media, and he knows his brand of humor isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. That won\u2019t stop him, nor will Hollywood, Inc.\u2019s attempts to silence his voice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Too many comics today tell jokes with half their brains tied behind their backs.Comedians know the woke revolution leaves them vulnerable to Cancel Culture attacks, large and small.
