Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 11th March 2022Feature: Save live comedy
Stand-up comedy has been my life for over seven years as a performer, writer and promoter. My best friends are comics or work in comedy clubs, spending time at shows was my social life and I've loved embracing everything comedy has had to offer, even taxi drivers telling me 'you can have that one' on the journey home from gigs.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 14th April 2018Comics stand-up for the politically incorrect at Fringe
Comedy is currently more prescriptive than at any time I can remember. Prescriptive of words, of subjects, even of opinions. And that is worrying. The current industry-standard stand-up has to abide by a list of prohibitions that make a gluten-free, vegan shopping expedition seem simple. There are 328 recognised gender identities, Leo Kearse tells his packed audience, and reads a few from his phone. Canada has just passed a law making the non-use of the correct gender pronoun in any given situation an offence, he says. He thinks this is a bit much.
