Panelists including humorist Sandra Tsing Loh and Simpsons producer Mike Price find the funny on this year’s campaign trail.
Presented by the USC Master of Professional Writing Program and the USC Master of Liberal Studies Program:
Comedy and Politics — Laugh ’Til You Think
Comedy is not merely entertainment; it can probe into discomforting social territory. Humorists for stage, page and television will delve into comedy’s capacity to affect social change. With examples fresh from the campaign trail, learn more about the comedic philosophies and techniques that push us into new realities. Do we play with comedy, or does comedy play with us?
