Is Comedy Dead or Just Going Alternative?

A new movie is coming out from the Daily Wire called Lady Ballers and it looks like a full on piss-take of the Trans Women in Sports trend that we have seen emerge in recent years. I’m a bit reluctant to wade into Culture Wars stuff because frankly I find it pretty tiresome and there are plenty of others fighting each other on the internet about it - they don't need me joining in. However I watched the trailer for this movie and it looks genuinely funny.

My wife and I have always enjoyed a bit of comedy. We like going to stand up shows and have been trawling through the streaming services for years giving anything a go which looks like it might be remotely funny. For some time I’ve considered the reality that we’ve scraped the bottom of the barrel and its become pretty hard to find genuinely funny content these days….so this movie might come as a bit of a breath of fresh air. Despite the fact that it might upset a few people….

Check out the Official Trailer above and make your own judgement. Sometimes with comedy movies they throw the best one liners into the Trailer and the rest of the movie is a bit of a yawn-fest, so hopefully that’s not the case here. I did get a couple of decent laughs out of the trailer so it’s definitely a movie that I would watch even at the risk of upsetting people by potentially enjoying it.

Above is another interesting clip by comic JP who has a bit of a commentary about the film and his thoughts about whether Comedy is dead. I’m not sure if I agree with him that people NEED to be offended but I certainly agree with making fun of some of the crazy things we see in Clown World and it's good to see some alternatives to Hollywood stepping up to make content. What do you think? Is this the sort of movie that you’d watch and enjoy?
