It comes after Lee previously spoke out about cancel culture, saying that no joke on any topic should be banned, as long as it’s funny enough.

A third wrote: ‘Got it! Wow, I actually answered the 1% question!

It comes after Lee previously spoke out about cancel culture, saying that no joke on any topic should be banned, as long as it’s funny enough.

The Not Going Out star said the golden rule should be that the joke should be more funny than shocking.

But he said that while that means anything is fair game in principle, in practice some topics are so sensitive that no comedian will come up with a funny enough joke.

Mack, who still writes the BBC sitcom Not Going Out but now rarely does stand-up, also said that too often jokes have now been judged without looking at the intention behind them.

He said: ‘In principle, there is nothing you can’t make a joke about, nothing. But for me, the joke has to be more funny than shocking. So, the more impactful the topic, the better the joke should be.

And there are some topics that are so shocking that no one is good enough to come up with a joke that’s more funny than shocking.

“So in principle you can make a joke about anything, but in practice you can’t because no one is that good.”
