Clean Comedy?

On this week’s episode, Kam recalls when his then-girlfriend stumbled upon his secret diary, and poses the question if social media is this age’s very own public diary. Pauline discusses if the need to classify women's writing as a separate category is empowering or unnecessary, along with how the media portrays women in these texts.We conclude this episode with Sharmaine’s experience as a local comedian, and how political correctness differs in Western comedy, especially pertaining to racial jokes.
