Punching sideways, comedy vs. cancel culture: Standard Time talk show - S1E6
Channel: Eurozine
Date: 2023-12-28

Offensive jokes: we all love them, but nobody seems certain, who gets to tell them.

From #politicalcorrectness to #cancelculture staying #woke seems to be the comedian’s new worst nightmare. While humor acts as a response to the crumbling state of the world, how ‘PC’ can someone be when dealing with offensive jokes?
