Harlem Book Fair – Free Speech Ain’t Free : Comedians at the Front Lines of Free Speech, Controversy, and Cancel Culture

In Conversation: “Free Speech Ain’t Free : Comedians at the Front Lines of Free Speech, Controversy, and Cancel Culture.”  Featuring: Carl Unegbu, lawyer, former comedy editor and author of “Comedy Goes to Court: When People Stop Laughing and Start Fighting” and Robert A. George, veteran journalist and comedian. Dialogue: “Comedy dominates pop culture, but you probably didn’t know that comedians get dragged to court aplenty, with lawsuits for what they say or even do. Join us for the launch of Comedy Goes to Court: When People Stop Laughing and Start Fighting, for the lowdown over free speech, political correctness, and joke theft, to managing the ups and downs of fame and fortune, and to being in a romantic relationship with comedians or being their family member…” Please join us for a fascinating discussion of these burning issues at the storied Harlem Book Fair and perhaps snag a chance to chime in on the dialogue. It’s an event you don’t wanna miss.
