"Comedy is useful for social change because it is a form of expression that allows the artist to say things that would otherwise be either unsayable or ignored. Comedy can be used to create a safe place for unpopular ideas. Comedy can be used to take a powderkeg of a situation and defuse it. But, it doesn’t work unless you have the laughs."
