The Real Danger of Comedy

Zach Galifian: I think the real danger of comedy is that it can give us a sense of wholeness by through the act of excluding someone. He says conservative comedy wants to create a sense of the wholeness of both the comic spectator and the comic object. Emancipatory comedy wants to show the divide within both the spectator and in the, and the object. "I don't think comedians are an escape point from trauma," he adds.
