Comedian Speaks Out After He Was Refused Gig For Being ‘White, Straight Able-bodied Male’
“Cack-handed attempts at social engineering don’t help anyone.”
A British comedian has spoken out after he was turned down for a gig based on his race, sexuality and gender.
Nick Dixon, who has toured the UK comedy circuit extensively and had success as a movie writer, says that a comedy club operator informed a fan of Dixon’s that he wouldn’t be booking the comedian because he was a “white straight able-bodied male”.
The club owner told the fan “I kind of have a million billion really good white, straight able-bodied male comedians I can call upon. I’m trying to find more of the opposite.”
The message continued, “When I say the opposite I don’t necessarily mean a black gay woman in a wheelchair, but I’ve seen how hard it is for female acts, black acts etc to get on good bills.”
This is not an isolated incident where comedy clubs are concerned.
Dixon says that such discrimination is happening to every white comedian in the country, but many are afraid to speak up.
“This has happened to basically every straight white comedian I know,” Dixon stated, adding “Whether it’s live or TV work, everyone this happens to feels it’s wrong, though they might not admit it publicly.”
He continued “Even right-on left-wing comedians will express anger about it in private…But if you asked them to give up their place on a TV panel show for a person of colour it would be a different story.”
“I just want a meritocracy because that’s better for everyone. Where you have a meritocracy, diversity happens naturally. Look at football, for example,” Dixon explained, noting that comedy shows should be made up of “just the funniest people.”
“These cack-handed attempts at social engineering don’t help anyone. I don’t believe it is necessary to do this in comedy,” Dixon urged.
The comedian has previously warned about comedy going ‘woke’, and the detrimental effects it has on the art form, claiming that the aim of woke comedy “is not to make us laugh, but to lecture us about what we should believe.
Dixon isn’t alone in lamenting the death of comedy at the hands of wokeness. Others including Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais, John Cleese, Joe Rogan, Adam Carolla, Bill Burr, and Dave Chappelle have all issued similar warnings.
Cancel culture has seen some comedians self-censoring in order to appease the mob:
The ultimate irony is that leftist comedians are quick to cry ‘cancel culture’ when their own bland drivel is rejected.

Oxfam ‘Inclusivity’ Guide Tells Staff to Avoid Using ‘Offensive’ Words Like ‘Mother’, ‘People’ and ‘Headquarters’
Language policing manifesto slammed by critics as woke garbage.
Oxfam has released an “inclusive language” guide which apologizes for using the English language before going on to deem a number of words ‘offensive’, such as “headquarters,” “local,” “people,” “mother” and “feminine hygiene.”
Yes, really.
The poverty and hunger charity was slammed for caving to absurd levels of political correctness after issuing the bizarre 92-page guidance to staff members.
“We recognise that this guide has its origin in English, the language of a colonising nation. We acknowledge the Anglo-supremacy of the sector as part of its coloniality,” states the introduction.
“This guide aims to support people who have to work and communicate in the English language as part of this colonial legacy. However, we recognise that the dominance of English is one of the key issues that must be addressed in order to decolonise our ways of working and shift power.”
Apparently, merely using the English language is now racist and offensive.
The word “headquarters” is criticized because it “implies a colonial power dynamic,” while “field trip” is also frowned upon because it can “reinforce colonial attitudes.”
Staff are even told not to say they “stand with” people they support because it “potentially alienates people unable to stand,” while even the word “people” is to be avoided because “is often misunderstood as only referring to men.”
“Mother or father” are also verboten because it is important to “avoid assuming the adoption of gendered roles by transgender parents,” according to the guide, while “feminine hygiene” is also a bad term because it implies menstruation is dirty.
Even the terms “LGBT, LGBTQIX, homosexuality, gay and lesbian” are to be avoided because people who consider themselves part of “the whole LGBTQIA+ community” might be offended if the ‘plus’ isn’t used.
Critics slammed the ludicrous language guide and said that Oxfam should concentrate on charity work rather than policing the words people are allowed to use.
“In Africa, women have a one in 37 chance of dying in pregnancy,” said Maya Forstater, who founded pressure group Sex Matters. “But Oxfam seems to think what’s really important is erasing clear language about the very people who are most at risk.”
“How is ignoring and denigrating the world’s mothers good for development?’ she asked. “This guidance is trying to apply fashionable ideas about gender identity to people around the world who don’t think like this and are dealing with the ordinary problems men and women face every day.”
“Most people will find this particular use of valuable time and resources by Oxfam totally bizarre. It would do them well to remember the old adage that actions speak louder than words,” asserted Tory former minister Robert Buckland.
Free speech activist Toby Young highlighted Oxfam’s mishandling of the scandal surrounding their staff sexually exploiting children after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, noting, “It’s rather like being lectured by a finger-wagging vicar from behind his pulpit even though he’s been publicly disgraced.”
“It would be altogether more sensible if Oxfam focused on its core mission of alleviating poverty and starvation,” said Young.
However, the charity doubled down on its woke insanity, releasing a statement clarifying, “This guide is not prescriptive but helps authors communicate in a way that is respectful to the diverse range of people with which we work. We are proud of using inclusive language; we won’t succeed in tackling poverty by excluding marginalised groups.”
