Recored at the 'drink the bar dry before lockdown' night, 4th November 2020 Tania's Twitter: / taniaedwards Get the Comedy Unleashed newsletter comedyunleashe...
Her humor and timing is amazing. "what a fabulous place to keep it." I laughed out loud which doesn't happen nearly enough. I hope to see more of her comedy in the future.
I don't see why they would. There's nothing on BBC2 or BBC4 at 4am that can't be sacrificed for a standup show by Tania, with her inevitably low viewing figures.
Great set ! That was a breath of fresh air with really good delivery and original material. Shows what can be done when you're not focused on vagina jokes, etc. Classy, intelligent and with the right amount of sarcasm. Keep it up Tania.
I don't think so, unfortunately. It might be though, others at this club seem to be doing alt-right bingo. I think it's a tactical mistake at the very least, it's only going to reinforce the mistaken impression that freedom of speech is synonymous with the alt-right. 'Free-thinking' used to just mean atheism!
@@jamesthecat Its because they equate being called a racist for being a racist, with, impingement on their right to be a racist without being called a racist. Confusing isnt it
@@jamesthecat I've been to this club (it's not far from where I live) and seen some of the comedians there. I totally disagreed with the views of the one talking about how we needed Brexit yesterday, but he was still funny. So were the other comedians, whatever views their comedy was coming from, some were more right leaning and some seemed more left leaning. As much as a lot of the comedians that associate with this brand are doing so from a somewhat centre-right place in reaction against what they're insisting is woke gone made and cancellation culture galore, I do agree with them that there needs to be the ability to say things that people don't like. I'm pretty centrist, but very liberal; I'm interested in what works and is supported by evidence, not what is ideologically proper or fits with my preconceived ideas of what I want to believe works (something that I find a lot of right of centre viewpoints seem to). I find it interesting that the comedy that comes out of this space, one that celebrates being free to say what you want without limits, seems to often be political stances that I don't so much think are wrong, but more don't actually work or a more ideological/inductive lens of how things are. What does that then say about the whole free speech discussion? If the controversial or unpopular can frequently be tracked back to prejudiced, simplistic or just simply falsifiable thinking or beliefs (e.g. Brexit will simultaneously make everything different and better but nothing will change that we'll notice so don't worry about it, for example) then what does that say about the argument that free speech is under attack? Maybe what is being said just isn't needed to be heard. Still, it's good comedy :)
Indeed Henry. You'd imagine that if you don't like being called a racist, the easiest way to avoid it would be not to say racist things. It's not super complicated. Truthfully though, regarding those that bemoan being called racist, I'm a little skeptical that the purported exchanges even happen in reality. Let's say that these exchanges did happen, I honestly believe that it would take a lot for anyone to come straight out and call someone a "racist" to their face. Being that direct to people is a lot harder to do in reality, even if faced with utterly abhorrent speech in the moment. Most people would surely say to themselves "I could call this person a racist, but what would happen? It'll likely not play out well". I don't doubt that I'm unique in generally choosing the path of least resistance in life...... for the most part. I've had family members and work colleagues say the most bigoted hateful stuff in front of me, and truthfully, I've just said nothing and let it slide by. In the calculus of 'how to deal with it' I just haven't seen the point in speaking up. Yes, I've made my disagreement known to people, and even done a small amount of reasoning, but I've very rarely gone as far as said "you're being a bigot". Reasoning, at best sows a seed, but you're never going to undo years of rationalized hatred in a single exchange. For a bit of context I'll share a story. I promise this is a true event from the last few weeks. I was doing a bit of IT work for an insurance broker in my local town. A lady arrived at the counter to discuss her car policy. Whilst her policy was being examined she started to make small talk with the staff. *"The world's gone mad!",* she said at one point. *"Look at all these BLM people pulling down statues and destroying history, and you can't say anything these days without the PC brigade saying, "you can't say that". I mean, one of my colleagues at work is being taken to a tribunal for calling a female Nigerian member of staff "a filthy monkey". The Nigerian woman, made a mess in the staff kitchen and didn't clean up properly after herself."* Now I'm working at the far side of the office thinking to myself, "oh yeah Mrs, what kind of a world do we live in, where you can't even call an African "a filthy monkey". No-one called her a racist, of course they didn't! Everyone just put their head down and stopped talking to her. I've read a lot of comments/thread on this channel. This is the only thread that has a consistently reasonable group of people having a back and forth.
@@mattygroves21478 It is a refreshing change to the rush that a lot of people seem to have to go to one side of the argument or the other without really engaging with the discussion, I grant you that. In fairness to the "free thinking / freedom of speech" right of centre position, there are plenty of people that are making a living off the point that "you can't say anything". Dave Chapelle's last Netflix special was over an hour of him talking about how censored he was being. I wonder, considering he's not allowed to say anything now, how does he make so much money from his comedy?
Wow, a female comedian did an 18min set and was funny. She also never once mentioned her vagina, menstruation, her weight, toxic masculinity, etc. Who knew that was possible?
@@marktyler3381 you can use a trope to make a joke. Whether it's humourous or not is subjective. Don't really see how you can argue it's not a joke nor any value in my trying to change your mind if you choose to define words differently to the various dictionaries available.
Yep fantastic. However why fake the stand up with CGI??? It’s great standup. No need to bullshit The sillouettes at the front never jerk with laughter or clap in aww.

She is fantastic - intelligent, dry, and dark. I'd love to see more from her.
Really good and refreshing to see a female comedian being funny, and not just resorting to bashing men and talking about her body parts
Agreed, finally a female comedian that doesn't resort to vagina jokes....
Agreed. And with a routine not focused on sex and relationships
@@thealienrobotanthropologist that's the joke, we're listening to the internal monologue of a metro-wannabe in all its glorious supremacist honesty.
@@clivewells7090 What are you talking about?
@@thealienrobotanthropologist She’s hilarious!
“We can still say NO to all of it-and I hope that we do”-thanks, my hero!
"I saw an actual rainbow and told it to fuck off...." Love it!!
She's bloody great. Bravo!
Her humor and timing is amazing. "what a fabulous place to keep it." I laughed out loud which doesn't happen nearly enough. I hope to see more of her comedy in the future.
That's unusual, a really funny woman who doesn't talk about her fanny.
That was the most entertaining video I've watched in UA-cam all week. Really enjoyed that. Thank you!
She was sooo good. So funny. Funniest comedian since Titania McGrath. Hope to see more of her.
My thoughts exactly - the two very names in competition to being the funniest. Good taste.
Probably the best female comic I've seen, she's ruthless! Long may you continue, madam!
Oh my God!!! I actually laughed out loud to a female comedian! Brilliant
I freaking love her voice
First time I've seen her any where, hardly surprising, but very funny. More please.
"a virus that respects table service" lol great
She’s hilarious!
Absolutely loved this
Very promising material and delivery. I like the subtlety, darkness, and not-so-sly digs ate the hypocrites!
Well above the average level - fantastic !!!
Her facial expressions that accompany the jokes are amazing 😂 she has real talent
Very funny! This lady is the sort of comic that should be on Mock The Week to make it funny again
It was funny?
BRILLIANT !!!!! They would be terrified to have her on the BBC
I don't see why they would. There's nothing on BBC2 or BBC4 at 4am that can't be sacrificed for a standup show by Tania, with her inevitably low viewing figures.

Love that dry humour.
Very cleaver and a brill set...😂😂👏👏👏👏.
Top notch.
The first genuinely funny woman comic I've seen in years.... More please
Saw her tonight in leeds. She was brilliant
Saw her at Lee Hurst's gaff last week. Amazing talent.
Loved this set
Got plenty of laughs from this one
Really enjoyed that. A wise and funny woman.
Absolutely brilliant..
Probably the best female stand up I’ve ever seen. 🙏🏽🤡
All these new comedians (to me) are making me laugh so much, thank you :-)
Brilliant!
FABULOUS!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Simply brilliant.
Very clever and apt!
This was very good Tania, Original courageous comedy.
Brilliant Tania, keep it dark , keep it funny,
great set
Clever lady.
Magnificent !
This was really good.
simply superb
Excellent stuff!..
Excellent 👏👏👏👏
Brilliant observation comedy
was she joking at the end about the vaccine? Sounds like the crowd weren't sure either

😂😂😂
She's great!
It's only funny coz it's true..! X
Brilliant.
Wickedly funny. 🍷
Brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Tania you're a fucking legend. Thank you.
That's the way to do it; nice one tania
Yeah good stuff
Brilliant. So funny.
Heard her on Richie Allen, and i'm a Trump supporter.
Raves have been fantastic and the drugs are still superb!
BRILLIANT AND BRAVE. More comedians need to call out the virus BS.
I'm laughing but also shocked that there's a legitimately funny woman. Where do you find these?!
She is good 👍🏽😃
Tania is very good at this
Wow, a female comedian did an 18min set and was funny.
She also never once mentioned her vagina, menstruation, her weight, toxic masculinity, etc. Who knew that was possible?
Brilliant lol .
Best joke this year"cunt's not them, us for going along with it" so true. Everybody marching straight into markis communism.
As an American, I had to look up Joe Wicks. It got a delayed-reaction chuckle.
2:34 Fucking brilliant! very clever, Christmas markets!
Good call ! I had forgotten humour...
PLEASE ENABLE THE SUB TITLES
💜🃏💯
i get vibes of micky flanagan from her
No she is better he has taken the MSM pill
Funny funny funny
So fucking good.
Bit of old material in there but Tania is great :)
Never even heard of her, but I've got that, whatsitsface... you know, where you can't- oh, what was I thinking......
Woo
@ 5:00ish 😆
She knew c😷nvid was a scam
😂😂😂😂
She is miles better than BBC Ruth jones ..
better than most but still a female comedian, always feels like a support group. C'mon everyone, laugh for the nice lady, she's really trying.
The joke about the diddleydee Irish has been told before, wish I could remember who it was, she's using other comic's material.
It's a trope, not a joke really.

Well thank god she was cancelled, I'd never have heard of her otherwise.
Funny
Boris Johnson? Dominic Cummings? Bill Gates? George Soros? No, it’s Joe Wicks.
Just say no to all of it 👍
Bill & Melinda instantly gave this the thumbs down.
Good divorce material 😁
Very entertaining and witty. Unlike my comment. Sorry.
Like a Posh Ellie Taylor
She had covid? I guess she also had the tooth fairy and the monster under the bed.
Yep fantastic.
However why fake the stand up with CGI???
It’s great standup.
No need to bullshit

Really need subtitles. Some of the punchlines are unintelligible.
