It’s as if we’d forgotten that comedians had licence to be honest, however ugly that might make them. Does that mean too few jokes? At times, yes, something he points out himself. Not everyone is signed-up and goes with his flow. That’s fine with him too: 'I could be wrong about these things, we don’t have to have the same opinions,' he says."
