"Everything can be joked about. But with this war, you can't be in the middle in terms of the side you pick. And you have to be very clear about the side you are on."
Ukrainian comedian Elin Davydova (@elinwrites) has lived all over the world and speaks 6 languages including Chinese, Japanese, Ukrainian, and Russian (bleh). She joins The Comedy Hole gang to first tell a very disturbing story about being drugged by a gang in China, but then we start discussing comedy eventually! Stick around for the last 20 minutes where the gang discusses how to handle difficult topics in comedy like the war in Ukraine, racism, and anti-semitism.
"The first comedy show I went to, the host made me so angry, he embarrassed me...and I knew immediately that I wanted to make other people feel this way." - Elin Davydova
