Descripción

Stand-up comedy often shines a light on societal issues, but there’s a shadowy aspect that this exploration delves into. Patrice A. Oppliger and Eric Shouse uncover the complexities and moral dilemmas that comedians navigate, revealing the often unseen repercussions of their craft. Through a critical lens, the authors examine the interplay between humor and harm, offering insights into the responsibilities comedians hold.

The discussions highlight various themes such as the influence of personal trauma on comedic performance and the potential for comedy to reinforce harmful stereotypes. By drawing from a range of perspectives—including comedians, audience members, and critics—this work encourages readers to reflect on what is deemed acceptable within the humor landscape.

Ultimately, the book serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the balance between laughter and sensitivity, prompting audiences to consider the implications of comedy as both a form of entertainment and a vehicle for deeper societal reflection.
