Starstruck creator Rose Matafeo has said that she wants a blanket ban on male comedians tackling #MeToo in their material.In a recent interview, the New Zealand stand-up spoke out against her male counterparts. “Ultimately, you are still financially benefiting from discussing the thing that you are part of the problem,” she told The Evening Standard. “I’m sick of seeing sensitive men being like, ‘What can we do?

What can we DO? Apart from write an hour show about it… what can we DO?’”29-year-old Matafeo was the first woman of colour to win the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2018 for her stand-up special Horndog.

The special launched on iPlayer this year, after which Matafeo played her first movie lead in Taika Waititi-produced romantic comedy.
