Shawn Boyd is a comedian, actor, and podcaster, and each year he puts together a Suicide Prevention Fundraiser at the Funny Stop Comedy Club in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on Monday November 8th.

 

Shawn and Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur talk about what led to him starting this benefit, how trauma and tragedy can turn into dark comedy, the Dave Chappelle controversy, and how comedy is being policed by special interest groups.
