U.K.: Sue Perkins attacks rape joke comedians [View all]

Story here

From the article:

In an interview with Radio Times she has said that she is worried about the jokes made by some male comedians, including Dapper Laughs, real name Daniel O’Reilly, who was sacked by ITV last year after rape jokes made by him emerged online.

“It’s not all right to make rape jokes,” Perkins said. “I think comedy has become very tribal and worryingly sectarian."
