The debate about the appropriate bounds of humor broke out
again last weekend with Michelle Wolf's performance at the White
House Correspondents Dinner, but it's been heated and ongoing for
years if not decades. Who should be the target of jokes? What's
off limits, if anything? If we put limits on comedy, will it die
a pitiful little death or get stronger?

Our guest today is Leighann Lord. She's a stand-up
comedian, one of the co-hosts of the StarTalk podcast, and writer
of several books, including Real Women Do It Standing Up. She was
one of the faces of the African Americans for Humanism billboard
campaign and has performed at several atheist conferences. She
joins us today to talk about being funny without being a
jerk.
