Post-Comedy w/ Alfie Bown
Manage episode 479540583 series 2661516
Alright, this week Tim is still away and certainly not obsessed with Anomancy a truth procedure which involves reading the folds and wrinkles of someones anus to discover profound insights into health, love, and destiny…he is rather off the wagon only to run someone down and will be back soon.
In the meantime we’re talking to Alfie Bown author of Post-Comedy which is Alfie's latest book in the same series as Mladen Dolar, Alenka Zupancic, Helen Rollins and many others.

We’re talking anxiety, ideology, the form of comedy today, and the ontology of laughter.
We’re getting into the disappearance of the laugh track, cringe comedy, crowd work & platform capitalism, the politics of offence, didactic humour, and how since comedy is surprises, if you're intending to make somebody laugh and they don’t laugh...that’s funny too.
See you in Paris,

Also, check out the new series on Little Hans by Kate Merritt and Manuel Gabbert which you can find on YouTube and the Everyday Analysis page as well as all everything else going on at @everydayanalysis
