Inclusive comedy is a new way to bring folks into the fun rather than making them the butt of the joke. Frankly, we need it now more than ever. Instead of transphobic or bigoted comedians like Dave Chappelle — who keep getting rewarded with multi-million-dollar Netflix specials and coveted SNL hosting gigs — what if we had performances that made space for everyone?
