Ian Wolf, On The Box, 24th April 2017TV humour is lewd, lavatorial & lacking any form of wit
The problem, however, is bigger than just one show. For the abject and high-profile failure of The Nightly Show raises a disturbing question. What has happened to British comedy? The sheer unfunniness of much of it is beyond depressing.
