Comedians have been cancelled, old shows have been taken off streaming platforms and bad jokes have seen people get fired - but has comedy really changed, and why? This talk explores the history of comedy and its edginess and asks whether something is really different today about the way we laugh and joke together and whether there might be some lessons to be learned from the history of comedy.
