As this awful Conservative Government takes aim at the finest comedy in the world (UK comedy), I believe it& #39;s time to fight back. That& #39;s why I am hosting ZANDS& #39; WORLD CUP OF SENSIBLE LEFT-WING COMEDIANS 2020 #ZWCSLWC

Please retweet

Behold the group stage qualifiers...

Pre-vote on account of messing up and sticking Rory Bremner in twice. Do we want to replace one of the Rory Bremners with Dom Joly or Andrew Doyle?

Ok, so I had duplicated Jon Richardson as well. Therefore both Joly and Doyle are in. This is a random selection as I didn& #39;t quite have time to seed the competitors by calculating laugh decibels at an example stand up show.
