MODERATORS
"Woke" is humorless because it's not trying to be funny. It's just being considered for other people. I've don't think I've ever seen something being sold as a "woke comedy night".
The things I've seen sold as "conservative comedy" is just some authority figure confidently and smugly confirming the audience's preconceived notions. Real humor sets up an expectation, then subverts it.
