Calgary Canvas S2E3 Comedically Correct?


Listen Later

In this episode, Jessie Bach and Isaiah discuss political correctness with comedians Brett Forte, Brian Stollery, and Yuk Yuks roast champion Sam Walker. We aim to find out how PC culture is transforming Calgary’s comedy scene. We tackle the role free speech plays in creating and performing comedy, and how the comedians feel about it. In this podcast, both sides of the political spectrum are discussed from extremely clean comics to radically vulgar comics. This podcast attempts to bridge the cultural divided that has formed by showing both sides’ legitimacy and some of the problems surrounding the issue.
