Comedy Under Attack: the Golden Age and the Headwinds Carl Unegbu

Where does stand-up comedy stand in an increasingly polarized world? From the British music halls of the 1700s and 1800s to the birth of the Internet, pod casts, and Comedy Central, COMEDY UNDER ATTACK explores the challenges facing contemporary stand-up comics from outside forces, such as censorship arising from out of control political correctness and corporate interests, and the damage they cause themselves when they steal each others' jokes.
