“Comedian's have made themselves useful idiots for the Right!”
Q: What do you make about the choices that people are having to make to continue to make comedy in an environment that is hostile to certain ideas and points of view?

“Comedian's have made themselves useful idiots for the Right!”

“Comedian's have made themselves useful idiots for the Right!”
Q: How do you deal with what many today regard as a time of heightened censorship?
I think a lot of stuff about censorship now, yeah, it exists, but the noise about it comes from people who are not actually subjected to it.
Gaza, Impunity & the collapse of Law
Q: Do you still regard international law as the best way forward in addressing this particular conflict?

Gaza, Impunity & the collapse of Law
Q: Are we in the throes of a dying old world?
I think every element of progress has contained within it regress, and I'm skeptical of the upward curve of progress.
