Comedy night takes the PC out of stand up elite

Those infuriated by the perceived left-wing bias of BBC satire are being targeted by Britain's first un-PC comedy night, which aims to give comics a space to puncture liberal taboos. The theme of the night is "no self-censorship". It encourages comedians to make jokes about targets that often escape the barbs of mainstream satirists, from Remain politicians to Jeremy Corbyn's Labour and the global warming consensus.
