Aaron speaks with actor, writer, comedian and teacher Tara Ochs on the nature and theory of comedy. We discuss why farts are funny, how the belief that comedians need to be sad is a complete myth, the intricacies and problems of cancel culture in both modern and historical contexts, and the history of female comedians. Tara gives her insights on why Chaplin's work holds up 100 years later and shares her belief that comedy is a 'hopeful' art that promises increased inclusion, playfulness and joy for future generations.
