I don't care what critics think. If a comedian makes me laugh, I'll have to concede that they're funny. If they make people clap instead of laugh, they're prob

  That's fair. I'm still not sure who would be an example of a good right-wing comic, though. Most of what I’ve seen involved material that’s repetitive (how many by now have delivered a variant of the One Conservative Joke - “I identify as an attack helicopter”?) and was designed to make the viewer validated in their right-wing beliefs at the expense of, say, some clueless “libtard” rather than exploring the form at all (ie it’s to make you “clap”). I dunno, I saw someone complaining about left-wing comedians was curious to hear who might be a right-wing comic.

    There are quite a few decent ones that are not overtly political that you might enjoy, like Ryan Long. > Most of what I’ve seen involved material that’s repetitive (how many by now have delivered a variant of the One Conservative Joke - “I identify as an attack helicopter”?) and was designed to make the viewer validated in their right-wing beliefs at the expense of, say, some clueless “libtard” rather than exploring the form at all (ie it’s to make you “clap”). I agree that validating beliefs makes for boring comedy.

      Will check when I'm less in "analytical" mode - that's probably not a fair state of mind to check a comic out in :)
