What Does It Mean To Be A “Brave” Comedian Today?

Writer, actor, director and standup comedian Mike Binder recently penned an article asking the rhetorical question of why the standup industry has become so thoroughly de-fanged in recent years to become incredibly pro-establishment.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Binder about comedy today, and the few truth-tellers who have been willing to push back against the COVID narrative in particular.
