Tricks, Trolls, and LOLs: Comedy’s Crash Course in Spotting Lies
Intelligence Squared presents
Sage & Jester Critical Conversations: Tricks, Trolls, and LOLs: Comedy’s Crash Course in Spotting Lies
Hosted by Sophia Smith Galer
Featuring Rachel Parris
Sometimes the best way to expose a lie is to laugh at it. Satire is a force to be reckoned with in any democracy and artists are essential in shedding light on the truth. Comedy has long been a way to bring difficult conversations to the fore, and to challenge narratives.
At Tricks, Trolls and LOLs, find out how humour and creative expression can serve as a counterbalance to misinformation; how satire can dismantle it, why authoritarian regimes fear comedians, and how art can be a powerful antidote to propaganda.
Intelligence Squared and Sage & Jester invite you to this series of interactive talks that bring you into the conversation with journalist Sophia Smith Galer. Join us across three events at the Pleasance Theatre, London where we’ll help you cut through the noise, build resilience and connect with community. Are you ready for change
