A friend of mine is a stand up comic. Clean and good for family. He will not do colleges anymore. He said “every word is scrutinized” and even the slightest remark is taken the wrong way. He dealt with students yelling at him backstage every time. Pathetic. These people don’t even know what they’re missing.
I think Jerry Seinfeld has a similar mindset, or did a few years ago. It’s pretty bad when comedians aren’t allowed to be funny any more.
I hear comedians in the UK are experiencing “visits” from the authorities over certain lines they have in their routine.
Now we have a generation becoming police officers that think this is not just ok but is their main place in society.
Think back to the album that Tom Lehrer released 60+ years ago of a concert he did at Harvard.
