I enjoyed this sensible deconstruction, and was very interested in Dembina's take on alternative comedy. I was a fan of the movement but it's undeniable that it was the start of very self-conscious virtue signalling which has now become cancellation.
What a pleasure to read this one! I love the performers you've highlighted, all excellent in their day, although it's true some material aged well but others jar in the present. Not sure I miss racial stereotype "jokes", I think we're better off without them. As always, well researched and beautifully written Sharon, perfectly paced and very readable. Thank you for taking the time to create these gems.

Thanks Sharon, smashing piece.
Agreed Jules.
I laughed all the way through reading this, but I need to come back and finish it because it’s so late at night.
I am so happy I found you. The drunk and the pigeon nearly had me pee my pants.
Thank you - you’re good !!!

Thanks so much Colin. Much appreciated!
