Well I think comedy everywhere has lost a bit of its bite. In Canada, I can't argue with the quality, but it feels like it's gotten a little safe.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Comedy's so subjective, and if someone comes to watch, doesn't get it, doesn't find it funny, then fine.
Well, being a Canadian, I love SCTV, and I think it's the basis for all good North American comedy, so I compare everything to that.
I believe comedy should be free to go anywhere. I believe that there is tasteful and untasteful, I think they're very close to each other, and it's how you handle it tonally. But I'm an equal opportunity offender.

I find comedy to be really scary, because it can go so wrong so easily, and the margin for error is so huge - and I guess that's what makes it funny, that tension.
Comedy in America is very serious. Either they laugh, or they don't.
The English can be a very critical, unforgiving people, but criticism can be good. And this is a country that loves comedy.
A lot of people say that comedy doesn't travel well. I found it very accessible.
Comedy is ugly. It's honest, it's raw.
Comedy is a shared experience, and I think it's great to open that to a wide demographic.
