(53) Phil Phails @ Funny with Andrew Wagner

Where’s the line in comedy — and how close can you get without crossing it?

In this clip from Phil Phails @ Funny, Phil Jones and comedian Andrew Wagner unpack what it means to find “the edge” in stand-up. They explore the delicate balance between shock and relatability, truth and taboo, anger and irony — and why surprise is often funnier (and safer) than outrage.

The two comedians discuss how race, sexuality, and emotion show up in jokes, why “ism” adds spice, and how relatability is the glue that keeps even edgy material connected to the audience.
