Ep 290 | Comedy Transcends Group Identity | Guest: Andrew Doyle
Manage episode 431625681 series 2486167
At this year’s FreedomFest in Las Vegas, Matt Kibbe sits down with English comedian Andrew Doyle to talk about how comedy, and indeed art as a whole, has been impacted by woke identity politics and critical theory. Doyle is pushing back against a claim that a comedian’s race or gender is more important than whether he or she can be funny. He’s also firmly committed to mocking those with absurd ideas, and that includes activists who want to police speech and silence dissent. The unique advantage of comedy is that it can hold a mirror up to the society and expose the ridiculous and the hypocritical.
