Vittorio Angelone on social media comedy and skewering Penny Mordaunt

Vittorio Angelone - (Rebecca Need-Menear)

“It’s been a strange few days. I'll say that much.” Vittorio Angelone is taking a brief break from checking his notifications to discuss his recent appearance on C4’s The Last Leg. What should have been a straightforward opportunity to promote his tour turned into a major talking point when he skewered fellow guest Penny Mordaunt.

After the former Tory MP had been talking about her role as ambassador for the Music Man Project, a choir featuring people with learning disabilities, the Belfast-born stand-up picked his moment: “Penny’s always been such a supporter of disabled people, you’re very supportive of the prosthetics industry…You were promoting on Twitter an arms fair in Saudi Arabia recently?”
