Critical Nonsense
105! The Audacity of Telling Good Jokes
What is the role of comedy in setting the boundaries of acceptable speech?
This week, Joey, Cultural Astrologer Osei Kwakye and Grand Comedienne Hannah Jegart talked about saying the funny thing loud, what's allowed when 'the parents' are out of town, the guilt of laughing, more on the Culture Wars, holding on to our hahas, and the Comedian Code. They don't talk about Alex's incredible intro.
