New Day Cafe: Some Tidbits of 21st C. British Wit [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-06-16

Welcome to the New Day Cafe! This is an open thread.

In the car yesterday, I was listening to the UK group Yard Act and appreciating their sardonic, characteristically British wit. They make rap/punk/spoken word kind of music, which probably won’t be up any Newdist’s alley. Here’s a taste of their work in case I’m wrong.

Don’t yell at me if you click play and hate it. I warned you.

Point being, I was thinking about how refreshing British humor can be, so I compiled a few bits from some of my favorite recent comedians.

Here are a few from Suzy Eddie Izzard.

And here are a couple from John Oliver.

If you have any favorite 21st Century UK comedians of your own, please share some clips.

This is an open thread. Please join us.
