PEL Presents PMP#132: "Too Soon" in Comedy?

<p>To honor the death of Gilbert Gottfried, we discuss jokes like <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2016/02/gilbert-gottfried-on-his-911-joke-too-soon.html">the 9-11 one he was pilloried for</a>. Can comedy really be "too soon" in relation to its tragic subject matter? Is comedy really tragedy plus time, or are jokes in fact most needed immediately when pain and discomfort are most acute?</p> <p>Mark is joined by three comedians: <a href="https://adamsank.com/">Adam Sank</a> (of the LGBTQ-themed <a href="https://adamsank.com/podcast">Adam Sank Show</a>), <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/meriamber">Twitch-streaming</a> songster <a href="https://meriamber.com/">Meri Amber</a>, and returning guest <a href="http://www.dannylobell.com/">Daniel Lobell</a> (<a href="http://fairenoughcomic.com/">graphic novelist</a> and <a href="http://www.dannylobell.com/podcast/">podcaster</a>).
