DESCRIPTION:How does bad news fuel good comedy? Can comedy bridge divides that no other 
 effort can?\n\nFour leading comedians, @AlexEdelman, @NeginFarsad, 
 @mikeyardcomedy, and \nhost @JewdyGold talk about the role of humor in 
 times of hate and hostility and \ndiscuss what they can - and can't - joke 
 about in this hyper-politicized age.\n\nSTREAMING on Thursday, June 16, 
 2022 at 2 PM PT (5 PM ET)\n\nRSVP: 
 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/can-i-laugh-at-that-tickets-340215031317\n\nEveryone 
 who registers will receive an email with the streaming link. \n\n\nWhat a 
 half-decade it’s been! \n\nSince 2016, we have seen two polarizing 
 presidential elections; national reckonings around race, sex, gender, and 
 power; an alarming spike in acts of hate and a once-in-a-century pandemic. 
 \n\nIn normal times, comedy can offer relief from pain and anxiety. But 
 these aren’t normal times. For comedians, too, the world has changed, and 
 their job—like so many jobs—has gotten immeasurably more 
 difficult.\n\nThe WNET Group’s ALL ARTS and EXPLORING HATE 
 present: “Can I Laugh At That?" Four leading comedians discuss how they 
 do their jobs in today’s world. It’s a world where a failed joke can 
 end up on social media, dissected by millions. Where the line between an 
 acceptable joke and one that crosses the line is blurrier than ever. Where 
 bad news does inspire good comedy ... even if we're laughing through our 
 tears.\n\nOur promotional partners are UNORTHODOX and PEN America.\n
