What Are You Laughing At?

One of the most important things for anything, not just acting, is doing your research. You have to know what's out there. I am working on a sketch-comedy show and have been going to see any and all possible comedy shows in New York. This weekend I saw Political Subversities at The Pit, Iron Sketch at the Pit, and a bunch of Stand-Up Comedy at the Laugh Lounge.


Political Subversities is a really cool group. They got together while they were studying at the NYU Tisch Experimental Theater Wing. And they got me thinking. They do musical sketch-comedy focused on politics. As I was sitting there laughing at the jokes, which are mostly tragic in their core, I started thinking...

Do you think comedians have a responsibility to address politics?
