Beyond the Punchline: Exploring Censorship in the Arts

Join us on June 26th from 5:30p - 7:30p for an evening of conversation and candid reflection on the intersection of humor, art, free speech, and cultural boundaries. At a time when comedians and artists are navigating increasingly complex social norms, we’ll explore the tension between creative expression and social responsibility. When is offensive comedy or art just that—offensive—and when is it a necessary tool for social commentary or truth-telling?

Hosted at the local comedy club, First Amendment Brew Haha, this event features local voices from the comedy world. Listen as they’ll reflect on the evolving role of comedy and art in civic life, the pressures of cancel culture, and what it means to push boundaries in an era of polarization.

Panelist information can be found .

Enjoy sipping First Amendment Brew Haha's signature beer and coffee.
