Comedian Frank Skinner

News summary

Comedian Frank Skinner has publicly reflected on his past stand-up routines, stating he finds some of his old jokes from the 1990s 'a bit offensive' due to the evolving social landscape influenced by woke politics and cancel culture. He explained that during his early career, it was common to make jokes that were racially and sexually charged, a norm he now recognizes as problematic. Skinner emphasized that his comedy is autobiographical and that he has grown personally, particularly as a parent, which has led him to reconsider his material. He feels that instead of feeling forced or bullied by the changes, he has been educated by them, allowing for personal growth and a shift in his comedic approach. Skinner expressed that he believes it is healthy to move on from older material, wanting to avoid stagnation in his life and career. He acknowledged that questioning one's past is a natural part of growth and adaptation to contemporary societal values.
