New special, based on the recent 'ceasefire' tour. Spits so much truth, with so many clever subtleties, and heroic to wade into this issue as a comedian when nobody else in polite society will touch it with a ten foot pole. I especially enjoyed the comparisons to the Russia/Ukraine war from around 40mins (though he didn't get it quite right - the key is to recognise citizens of the Donbas as the originally oppressed group) - v educational for his audiences, I would hazard to guess. Anyway, I didn't just agree the f* out of it as per the Stewart Lee gag, but found it consistently, almost medicinally hilarious. Enjoy, and click through his other vids if you haven't come across his stuff before (I think some has been posted here, prob where I heard of him).

cheers,
I
