Greg Davies: Political correctness hasn't ruined comedy

Speaking during a recent Q&A, the Taskmaster star was questioned if political correctness has killed comedy. The comic wasn't so sure as he replied: "No, I don't think so. It depends. This is a debate we can have. It depends very much on your definition of political correctness, doesn't it? But my feeling is, my interpretation of political correctness is just avoiding saying things that are clearly awful."
