There's all this controversy around comedy and what should be allowed and what shouldn't. Ted Sarando's stuck by Chappelle and I think correctly in that you should just let it go and see what happens in the market. We're living in an age of decontextualization and fundamentally jokes cannot be decontextualized to the comedian's benefit. People started to identify with comedians belief system after John Stewart left The Daily Show.
Aging, parenting by mortality and dying alone or kinless: these are just some of the uplifting topics Kara and Nayeema tackle today before our interview with Mike Birbiglia. The comedian and writer is deep in his latest Broadway show, “The Old Man and the Pool,” which doesn’t shy away from such heavy topics either. Birbiglia and Kara discuss mortality, parenthood, their last words and finding comedy in all of life — even the sad bits.
