Comedy

The night American comedy died

One of the qualities that I admire in Americans is their sense of humour. I grew up in a serious Indian society which did not know how to laugh and certainly not at itself. I remember one silly political cartoon from my childhood which depicted Indira Gandhi in a non-flattering way and caused a fierce debate in parliament. 

Thought provoking comedy

A show at South London Gallery, Camberwell, highlights humour that is often oblique, conveyed through irony, paradox, double meaning and opaque cultural references.
