Today comedy is being consumed and developed in a new, digital-age way. It’s no longer just the stand up comedian at the comedy club. Now you can watch your favorite funny comedy clips and comedians anytime of the day or night from any location. Comedy today has moved into the digital world big time, or perhaps I should say bit time.
This technology enhanced comedy provides effective commentary on a wide array of social, political, and pop culture issues, as well as useless nonsense.
Anyway, comedy, satire, spoofs, parodies and humor generally, even jokes are excellent vehicles of social development and today they can be found on Youtube, Comedy Central, and almost any other website you visit.
The World Wide Web (WWW) is awash with video presentations of highly creative and entertaining wedding dances. Comedic acts test out their materials using the web and many do their research for material using this technology, hone their presentations and use video and audio technology in their rehearsals so that they can critique their performance. And these same techniques are obviously useful in procuring engagements. These techniques are the digital era version of an audition tape or the portfolio of past works.
So, we at Culture View say "Let There Be Laughter and Cultural Understanding."
