When done properly, stand-up comedy can be about so much more than
just making people laugh. It can also be used as a cudgel against
tyranny and injustice, the jokes we laugh at can make us look within
and confront the thorny issues that rarely come up in polite
conversation. When c reating the concept for their bi-weekly comedy
show Nervous Laughter, Sarah Harvard and Gene Meyer wanted to tap into
this approach. Each show has a different theme (past themes include
Green Card and Culture Class) and features an outstanding lineup of
stand-ups exploring the topic. Ideally you'll laugh a lot, cringe a
little and walk out of the room thinking.
