Jokes cannot be 'sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, disabilist etc'

A London comedy club has banned ironic comments and ‘banter’ with the audience to create a ‘safe space’ for stand-up.

But just make sure you are not a Conservative, as then you risk being called a ‘racist bigot’ a ‘f****** monster’ or even a ‘f****** c***bag of a t***’.

Lolitics Comedy Club, which takes place around once a month at the Black Heart pub in Camden, makes acts abide by a set of rules to create an ‘enforced niceness’.

Performers are told to preserve the safe space by not asking people in the audience questions one-on-one, while spectators must in turn not heckle the comedians.

The rules also outlaw jokes that are considered ‘sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, disabilist’, and comments like ‘I hate the French’.

Organiser Chris Coltrane adds on the Lolitics website: ‘If I’ve missed any “-ism” out it doesn’t mean it’s allowed!’

Mr Coltrane also tells acts to consider not using the word ‘rape’ as it may be ‘triggering’ to people who have suffered sexual assault.

Personal comments about people’s appearances, such as ‘laughing at a politician for being overweight’ are also discouraged, as is any form of ‘d***headish nastiness’.

But the rules seem flexible depending on the target, as Mr Coltrane joked last month that calling Theresa May ‘too left wing’ was as silly as calling Michael Gove ‘too handsome’.

He also called Theresa May a ‘bigoted racist’ and said of her government, ‘F*** them, f*** the lot of them, man’.

Other comedians who have appeared at Lolitics - which takes place at the Black Heart in Camden, include Bridget Christie, Stewart Lee, Josie Long and Grace Petrie

In a segment in which he called for fully open borders he noted that ‘no one is illegal… apart from Nigel Farage because f*** that p***’.

A local councillor claimed it was itself ironic that Mr Coltrane wanted to create a safe space for everyone apart from his political opponents, but commended his ‘audacity’ nonetheless.

Oliver Cooper, of Camden Conservatives, told MailOnline: ‘Fair play to him.

‘You have to applaud the audacity of an organiser that creates a safe space for everyone but Conservatives, or prohibits 'd***headish nastiness' to anyone unless you disagree with their politics.

‘It smacks of a deep hypocrisy, but the Left's claim to moral superiority always has done. If he wants to be a hypocrite, that is absolutely his right.

‘To channel Voltaire, I disagree with his d***headish nastiness, but I will defend to the death his right to spout it.’

Cllr Cooper, who represents Hampstead Town, said he was proud of the ‘breadth and diversity’ of the comedy scene in the borough of Camden.

‘If Mr Coltrane wants to have a lefty rant about the Conservatives, he's free to do so, although he may find that part of the comedy market a bit crowded, especially on the BBC.’

The gig rules, listed on the Lolitics website, also state ‘no ironic racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia’.

Explaining the dangers of irony on Radio 4, Lolitics performer Rob Newman argued that it is not possible to be ironically sexist or racist when sexism and racism still exist.

He added: ‘It is not as if irony is some sort of strange thing that inoculates things and stops them being what they are.’
