Rowan Atkinson Says Comedians Should Be Allowed To Make Jokes About ‘Absolutely Anything’

But, Rowan Atkinson has said that comedians should be allowed to make jokes about “absolutely anything.”

Atkinson, sixty-seven, well known for his role as Mr. Bean and Johnny English, has spoken out against ‘cancel culture’, saying that humor has to be aimed at somebody.

Talking to The Irish Times, Atkinson offloaded on what he thinks comedy should and shouldn’t be.
