We’re talking anxiety, ideology, the form of comedy today, and the ontology of laughter.

We’re getting into the disappearance of the laugh track, cringe comedy, crowd work & platform capitalism, the politics of offence, didactic humour, and how since comedy is surprises, if you're intending to make somebody laugh and they don’t laugh...that’s funny too.

See you in Paris,
