“A clown is like aspirin, only he works twice as fast.”
Groucho Marx
It is sad that the old traditions of Clowns and Jesters. Modern - so called Comedians - often have less stage skills and social involvement like the old timers did (and sometimes still do). Humor as integral part of human society. connected to everything ranging from health to high politics has become more of a business instead of a ’shared good’ and challenge for all (like during the times of Fasching).
The goal today is to entertain, not to educate. Political satire, philosophy, social education and health concerns have mostly vanished from the agenda of modern comedians.
