Edinburgh Fringe: Why comedians need to get serious

found myself sitting at a comedy gig at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe the other day and having a Richard Pryor moment. It was a decent show, by an established comic, musing on the vagaries of life. It was funny and well observed but all I could think was, what am I doing here? I wanted something different. A comic who would use his or her wit to interrogate some of the big issues we're facing.
