Funny Times: How Young Comics Navigated This Years Melbourne International Comedy Festival

from The Swanston Explainer · host The Swanston Explainer

Melbourne's International Comedy has just finished up after a month of laughs, with many newcomers and young comics making their mark on the comedy stage. In today's climate cancel culture is more prevalent than ever so comedians have to tread carefully along the line of funny or too far. We spoke to some of the Festivals debut comics as well as some familiar young faces to see how they are navigating the ups and downs of stand-up with their voices and opinions on an international stage. We also chat about recent examples of "cancelling" and what that means for the arts and comedy scene. Host: Phoebe Billing Journalist: Jada Cannizzo Series Producer: Macey Jayne Fogarty
