The comedian as truth-teller

A comedian tells jokes about reality for a living, which means they're required to notice what's actually happening instead of what we agree to pretend is happening—they're paid to break the collective silence around inconvenient truths. The laugh is the permission slip we hand them to say what we're all thinking but too afraid to voice.
