What George Carlin jokes would be deemed offensive today? What makes us laugh has come under scrutiny. Old jokes or skits are often off-limits in today's context, leading to public apologies and cancellations. Some argue political correctness stifles comedic creativity, thus affecting their ability to tackle tough subjects. Those who disagree say comedy has always evolved with changing norms and it can still flourish within wokeness. This week we revisit one of our favorite debates from the past year: is Wokeness Killing Comedy?

Against this background, we debate the question: Is Wokeness Killing Comedy?

This debate will take place in front of a live audience, on Wednesday, September 20, 2023 at The Comedy Cellar’s Village Underground in New York City. Warning that this content is not made for kids.

Arguing Yes: Lou Perez, Comedian, Producer, Author of "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore"

Arguing No: Michael Ian Black, Actor and Comedian

Nick Gillespie, Editor-at-Large of Reason, guest moderates
