When Roasts Stop Being Funny
-

Richard Crouse and Sarah Hanlon take on comedy as an art form… and why it so often gets treated like drama’s unserious cousin.
They discuss the craft behind great comedy, from timing and rhythm to improv, physical performance, writing, surprise, and the invisible work that makes a joke land. They also dig into the Kevin Hart roast, modern roast culture, the difference between shock and surprise, and whether some comedy has become more about cruelty, grievance, and identity than actual jokes.
Along the way: Kinky Boots, Mr. Dressup, Jim Carrey, Gary Shandling, the Comedy Cellar, the Joe Rogan comedy universe, and underrated comedy favourites including After Hours and I Love You to Death.
Because if drama makes you cry, it’s art. But if comedy makes you laugh, somehow it still has to prove itself.
