Comics and "The Line"

In this episode, we explore the complex relationship between comedy and society. Stand-up comics and comedic writers have long been at the forefront of pushing boundaries, often using humor to address sensitive topics like politics, race, gender, and social justice. But in today’s climate, the line between edgy and offensive is thinner than ever. We discuss how comics navigate this tricky terrain—balancing the desire to speak truth to power with the risk of alienating audiences or facing backlash.
