Synopsis

"Censored Comedy" explores the complex history of comedy censorship, examining how social norms, legal frameworks, and political climates have shaped what we're allowed to laugh at. The book reveals how changing attitudes towards sensitive topics like race and religion, along with the exercise of power by institutions, have influenced the reception and suppression of comedic expression. Understanding the history of comedy censorship means grasping free speech, defamation, and obscenity.

 
The book chronicles landmark cases of comedic censorship across history, from ancient societies to the digital age. It analyzes early forms of suppression, the impact of mass media, and the rise of cancel culture, offering a balanced perspective on the ongoing debates surrounding offensive humor and free speech.

 
The book draws upon diverse sources, including court transcripts and previously unexamined archives of banned films. This exploration of censored comedy is valuable for students of media studies, law, history, and anyone interested in the power of humor and free speech issues. It provides a framework for understanding comedic expression, navigating potentially offensive material, and understanding the complexities of free speech in the modern world.

 
The book progresses chronologically, offering insights into how technology and evolving social norms continue to reshape the boundaries of acceptable comedy.

Pioneer and leader of the abstract art movement, Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was known for his straight lines and pure colours. Fascinated by the mathematical laws of the universe, this Dutch artist nourished his work with his scientific discoveries and created a new abstract language alongside his allies Wassily Kandinsky and Fernand Léger. As his investigations advanced, his works purified and intensified to the rhythm of the travels and encounters that he enjoyed. Recognised during his lifetime as the founder of an avant-garde movement, he propagated his knowledge and his artistic vision to illustrious architects and stylists and still today remains a cherished source of inspiration.

Radio Phoenix, a dodgy little Australian community radio station broadcasting in the 1960's, held together with gaffer tape, bad decisions, and a mostly inept voluntary crew who probably shouldn’t even be trusted with electricity!  
 
At the helm is Mick, the self-appointed boss — a bloke who reckons the world owes him a living and runs the joint by rules he makes up as he goes.    
 
Then it all goes pear-shaped - In a moment of absolute madness the station is accidentally burnt to the ground! 
 
With the town-folk breathing down their necks rumours of alien visitations, and a hard deadline looming.  The race is on to get Radio Phoenix back on air before the locals completely lose the plot ... and their minds! 
 
Armed with no money, no brains, bugger-all common sense, and a truckload of bad luck, the question isn’t how they’ll pull it off— or if they’ll torch what’s left of the town along with it?  
 
Characters have been brought to life with Wilbur Wilde, Russell Morris, Simon Owens and many more stepping behind the microphone to bring the story to life!
