The ‘Terribly Funny’ tour contains jokes about all kinds of terrible things. According to the show description, these are “terrible things that might have affected you or people you know and love. But they’re just jokes – they are not the terrible things. Jokes are little lies. Nothing more than wonderful, funny, joyful tricks, constructed from language”.
Catering to “an adult paying audience who’ve got a good idea what’s in store”, audiences can expect that nothing will be off the table here.
“Having political correctness at a comedy show is like having health and safety at a rodeo. Now you’ve been warned, enjoy the laughs.”
