Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Maaate comedian, Romesh Ranganathan, gets called out by Laurence Fox after telling men to normalize calling out fellow men over sh’t.
Recall that in May 2023, Romesh Ranganathan, in a stand up comedy, told his male audience to normalize calling out their other men when to do some thing wrong.
Reacting to the comedy clip from TikTok, Laurence Fox said: “You are not a “comedian” #Maaate.”
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has said misogyny is present in “all walks of life”.
Comedian Romesh Ranganathan, who helped Khan launch the ‘Say Maaate to a Mate’ campaign, also echoed the sentiment as they spoke at the event launch in London.
The campaign urges men and boys to challenge sexist behaviour and misogynistic attitudes, in a bid to tackle violence against women and girls.
The show is coming back with a fresh new batch of contestants all ready to be walloped and whacked and splashed into the drink. However, one thing remains certain. All of those fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to be granted a place on the show remain hopeful that they can go home with the elusive main prize made up of One Million Yen (or the much less flattering sounding, £5,500 quid).
According to Digital Spy, Romesh and Tom will provide viewers with a “uniquely British perspective” on the Japanese show, “guiding them through this hilarious, dramatic, and, at times, utterly baffling world” with their “infectious enthusiasm and world-weary cynicism.”
“In the UK, [misogyny is present] in all walks of life, whether it’s in journalism, in politics, in the police, in the health service – all walks of life,” Khan told the PA news agency.
Ranganathan said barriers are in place for women in the comedy industry too. “I still think it is much more difficult for a woman to do comedy than it is for a man. People have attitudes towards whether women can be funny and some people immediately make a pre-judgment,” Ranganathan said.
“I think it’s got better, but I don’t think we’ve solved the problem by any stretch.”
