Description

Last night (ok a few hours ago) I gave the keynote address for Colby College's Center for Arts and Humanities program which is focusing on humor all year. After a one hour address/comedy show/multimedia presentation, I did about 30 minutes worth of Q&A. Topics covered included "When does comedy go too far in offending?" "How did you get started in comedy?" "Can you use humor around natural disasters?" "Can social media be used for good?" and "What are your thoughts about the presidential election?"
