Presented by Francesca Martinez, one of Britain's funniest disabled comics, and writer, director, actor Paul Bassett Davies. Although, let's face it, that's a pretty narrow field. Like saying "One of Britain's finest bricklaying astronauts." See what we're doing here? Joining them for a panel discussion on offensive comedy are among others; Secunder Kermani, Richard Herring and Brendon Burns. Is comedy losing its nerve? Come and sniff the corpse of Bernard Manning with some top names in comedy and explore what's acceptable in the name of entertainment. If comedy is worried about offending people is free speech under threat or are we just getting more sensitive? This event aims to discover where you draw the line - and cross it.
