Comedian Michael Spicer has said he finds it “very irritating” that the politicians he has “lampooned” follow him on social media, saying “I think they think that it’s just a game”. Spicer shot to fame during the 2019 general election for his Room Next Door sketches, where he would pretend to act as a political adviser speaking in the ear of a public figure during an interview. The 47-year-old, from Ashford, Kent, however told the PA news agency that some politicians do not seem to have understood the joke.
Michael Spicer has more than 500,000 followers on Twitter with some of his videos earning more than two million views (Michael Spicer) “I think they think that it’s just a game, it’s all just a joke. That if we bumped into each other in a bar we’d have a drink about it and say how funny it all was. But that sort of thing makes me quite nauseous.
“I’d like to think that I was making some sort of statement about about the Government’s ineptitude, about politicians’ ineptitude.” Spicer has more than half a million followers on Twitter, with his videos regularly receiving hundreds of thousands of views. One of his most recent Room Next Door sketches, earning more than two million views on X, poked fun at the moment the Prime Minister made headlines after one member of the public, who was standing in a group circle surrounding Rishi Sunak, rolled her eyes as he spoke about national security and immigration.
