Tiny Revolutions

Tiff Stevenson and pal Kiri Pritchard-McLean - double-Chortle award winning Edinburgh Festival favourite - talk about how comedy can contribute to social change, particularly through talking about subjects that were previously considered taboo. Other subjects include gender expectations, shaming, and the magnitude of tampons.

Trigger warnings: there is some talk of depression, abusive relationships and gaslighting.

This podcast contains swears.

Tiff Stevenson and her good friend Sara Pascoe - comedian, actor, author - have a wide ranging discussion on whether comedy can be a force for social change, how to use the special powers that comedy has, and how not to misuse them. 

Amongst other things (Louis CK and why dairy is disgusting*) They talk about the importance of being aware of your own blind spot, in comedy as well as life in general. 

Trigger-wise there is some pretty deep stuff in here in particular - sexual assault, racism and sexism.

*unrelated

Tiff Stevenson talks to The Mash Report’s NISH KUMAR about all sorts.  Obviously Brexit and Trump, of course that Piers Morgan, and whether TV political satire/ commentary can really make a change.

They chat a bit about Goodness Gracious Me and make particular reference to this classic sketch:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDXrhkm4sEI

 

If you don’t get the Mark Watson reference towards the start, it’s about this kind of stuff…

Yes there are swears

Host Tiff Stevenson interviews fellow comedians about how and why comedy can be a force for social change.

This is very much what this will sound like.
