I'm sure the reverse assertion is also true. Divided by a common language and all that.

At least in the US, there is a high chance the PC police would have been over her as well.

It was basically complaining about the UK and saying how much better Japan was.

Not at all. You really should listen to the whole thing.
She has a very British approach to humour, if you like that sort of thing (I do), which I guess is why the audience is loving it and she won the award.
In time people might tire of the novelty (i.e. British style humour from a Japanese person), but not many British comedians manage to make a solid lifelong career out of it either. I suppose that would apply to American comedians as well.

OK, I'll promise to listen to it whole when I am bored.
Maybe I'll eventually change my mind.
