Society & Culture
Sometimes it really feels like the only appropriate response to life in the 2020s is to laugh at the utter absurdity of it all. This gives real value to Conscious Comedy, and at the forefront of the pack is the Australian comedian Steve Hughes.
Steve relates how flowing with the unpredictability of life has always been his way, from his music background playing in metal bands, to his entering stand-up comedy, with a life-changing nervous breakdown along the way.
We discuss how comedy - once edgy and subversive - has been completely infiltrated by “woke-ism,” with many parallels to the world of music. All comedians have had to pick a side, and the results speak for themselves.
*** EXPLICIT LANGUAGE WARNING - NOT ONE TO PLAY IN FRONT OF THE KIDS ***
