As Long as it's Funny; A Discussion about Comedy and Censorship
Controversy has always surrounded the comedy industry, from stand-up to sitcom to satire. During the discussion, ethics, censorship, freedom of expression and taste will be explored by special guest panellists and the audience.
- What makes us sometimes laugh at the very worst of human nature?
- Is comedy a natural and positive way of coping with horror?
- When is a joke just too offensive to use?
- When exactly is "too soon"?
- What's off limits?
- Is every aspect of life fair game?
Panellists
Steve Moore (Entrepreneur, Campaigner and Facilitator)
Phil Clarke (Head of Comedy, Channel 4)
Jodie Ginsberg (Chief Executive, Index on Censorship)
Eddie Doyle (Head of Comedy, Talent Development & Music, RTÉ – Ireland's National Public Service Broadcaster)
Austin Harney (Chair, Campaign for the Rights and Actions of Irish Communities)
Gráinne Maguire (Stand-up comedian, comedy writer and columnist)
Comedian, Gráinne Maguire, said "The right to voice one's opinion has become the religion of our age, but are there some things that shouldn't be joked about and who gets to decide? I'm really looking forward to taking on this fascinating and incredibly relevant issue".
Join us as we grapple with these and many other questions in a provocative and interactive event.
Gracious thanks to the Comedy Cafe Theatre and the panellists for their support.
