The BBC has come under fire for strongly favouring left-wing or “woke” comedians in its allocation of comedy broadcasting slots.

According to an audit (pdf) by the Campaign for Common Sense (CSC) 74 percent of 364 BBC comedy slots were given to “woke” comedians and just four to conservative comedians over the past month.
