Review of Can We Take a Joke? (2016) by Wayne J — 01 Aug 2016
Great defence of the importance of free speech in society, with various examples drawn from comedy. Funny and irreverent stuff from Jim Norton, Gilbert Gottfried, and Lisa Lampenelli. Good context given with the story of Lenny Bruce.
Disturbing to hear about the PC trend on college campuses, esp. the one example of an audience member literally grabbing the mike from a student comedian and telling him to "sit the fuck down." Funny, interesting, informative.
