I’m generally left-learning and I enjoy the usual left-leaning comedians - you know, TDS, Colbert, Kimmel and the likes.

But I also pride myself on being open-minded and listening to all sides, and I don’t know any good right-leaning comedians. And ya know, if it’s funny, I’ll laugh at anything said by anyone.

So please make suggestions! Whose jokes and commentaries are worth listening to?

And in case it wasn’t clear, this is NOT flamebait: I’m genuinely looking for good comedy material from comedians on the side of the political spectrum I’m not on, for my own education.

    Some say a mind is like a parachute, works best when open. But I also like this from Warhammer 40k that “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.” There are a bunch of ideas that you don’t have to give credence to because you already know they’re trash. You can seek them out for edification, but please don’t think open mindedness means you have to respect every idea with consideration, that you have to listen to people just because they’re talking, etc.

    Anyway, good luck with your search. I’ve not been exposed to right wing comedy that’s funny.
