Smith & Waugh Talk About Satire

EP75. Brit Comedy Abroad & Satire In Song


Listen Later

Inspired by Adam's recent adventures in Santiago de Comepstela, Spain, where he talked about satire at the second Conference on Feminisms and Humour: Humour-Sofías, and a new BBC Report which determined that comedy is a premium British export, Jo and Adam investigate the reception of British comedy abroad. They take a look at an enormous project undertaken by King's College London to survey screen encounters with Britain abroad, before considering the tricky question of whether comedy can be successfully adapted across international borders (with specific reference to The Inbetweeners and The American Office). In the second half, Jo and Adam respond to a listener question about comic songs and satire in music, which takes them on a wide ranging musical journey that touches on Half Man Half Biscuit, The Beautiful South, Eminem, The Lancashire Hotpots and much more else besides.
