The Jonathan Pie character isn't good enough to be a comedian,
and not good enough to be the hard-hitting social commentator he aspires to be. Frankly, he's just not good enough.

Did your last comedy tour outsell his?
Is your satire more critically approved?
I'm not a fan but he's significantly funnier than several other professional comedians, and much less of a cunt than Francis Wheen, Ian Hislop, or John Sessions.

I care not two figs.
Unlike him, I know the limits of my talent. He comes across as a faux self-righteous twat.

You're right no one should have said anything
It's just one of those things, nothing could have stopped it.

He's literally an actor, Pie is literally a role he plays.
Also pro wrestling is predetermined and there's no Father Christmas.

What's Ian Hislop done to deserve being called a cunt?
From what I've seen he's consistently held up a mirror to those in power, whoever they are, and repeatedly put himself in the legal firing line in the process. Sure, I can see he might be irritating to some people but that doesn't make him a cunt IMO.
I might be missing something, in which case I'm genuinely interested what it is!

Speaking as someone who has watched HIGNFY for about 30 years - tory? Really?

Tory to the core
Suspect the other one is too at this point

Told a thousand unfunny jokes and launched the political career of Boris Johnson...

I'll forgive unfunny jokes
I'm not sure he claims to be a comedian. However, launching BJ's career is another thing entirely - when did this happen? I must have missed it!

As entertaining as I find him, he’s very much a one trick pony.
It’s the same situation with Nerine Skinner, a.k.a. Liv Struss/Navine Borries; the Tories are out so now they’ll need to change their acts.
In the case of the latter she can switch to Rayner or Phillips (she’s already done some videos in these personae) but Pie will struggle without a target so universally hated as the Tories.

Private Eye still sells well under Labour.
Pie is not a Labour character, he gets flabbergasted by corruption, lies and incompetence. Labour are capable of providing him ample material, but hopefully less criminal and fascistic.

Good grief, give Labour a chance. They've only been in power for 24 hours.

Liv Struss videos are at least short
Do the joke, pull the face, done.
Pie rambles and labours the point.

Michael Mcintyre is also successful
- but that doesn't stop him being an annoying shit.
Entertainment is a matter of taste, and taste is famously highly variable.
