Résumé :
Did you hear the one about the comedian who was canceled? Comedians are no strangers to controversy or crossing the line. But some things do change. Humorists the world over are no longer simply denounced in grouchy op-eds. Now comedians are being hounded by criminal investigations and civil suits, or forced off the airwaves.

As comedians face growing legal and physical peril, not just humor but laughter itself is becoming suspect....
