I have a certain affection for all fellow comedians, having done some stand-up comedy myself. So I had sympathy for Evan Sayet, a conservative comedian, who spoke at the Heritage Foundation earlier today. His shtick is not what we might call nuanced. Sayet’s talk was entitled, “Hating What’s Right: How the Modern Liberal ‘Thinks’ ” (He has a book by the same title, he tells me, coming out later this year.) Sayet seems like a nice enough fellow–we have some friends in common– and it’s hard enough to do comedy even with a two-drink minimum let alone at the Lehrman Auditorium of the nation’s preeminent conservative think tank.
