Comedy Censorship Was WORSE with Kliph Nesteroff – Factually! – 245

For as long as there has been comedy, there have been people who have complained that "we can't do comedy anymore." This feeling seems more widespread than ever, but is this real censorship or a change in our culture? Adam speaks with Kliph Nesteroff, comedy historian and author of Outrageous: A History of Showbiz and the Culture Wars, about the history of censorship in comedy and how the idea that the audience is " too sensitive” is propaganda pushed by the same people who censored comedians in the past.
