Frankie, what happened?
Your opening and closing monologues are arguably the only funny part of the show, and even they're like a ghost of what you used to come out with.
Giving female comics such a high-profile platform is laudable, but the ones you've had on have largely been awful.
The show is nowhere near as dangerous as it obviously sees itself as being, the topics discussed and the arguments made both trite and lazy.
There IS an appetite for a funny, genuinely transgressive political comedy show but this isn't it - and, gallingly, once upon a time, you'd have made it.
