S2 E19 Cancel Culture For Comedians

Published: Sept. 18, 2019, 3:30 p.m.

Should a comedian be banned, cancelled or blacklisted for making distasteful jokes? If so, there would probably be a lot of out-of-work comics out there. But that is exactly what is happening right now in the real world. Comedians are being fired for offending people. Isn't that part of the schtick? Have stand-up comedians not shown a harsh light on nearly every aspect of humanity over the years? Have we completely lost the ability to "take a joke?" \n\nRecent developments may make you say that we, as a society, are now just too sensitive to be offended. In this all new episode of Legally Unfiltered, attorneys Franz and Rich have an unfiltered conversation about the delicate subject of rape jokes and comedians who sometimes lose their jobs and careers over the jokes they tell. \n\nAs always, keep the conversation #Unfiltered!
