Max Thomas On Comedy and Mobilizing

If laughter is the best medicine, then Max Thomson heals people one joke at a time. This comedian, actor, writer, and community organizer based in Chicago uses comedy to speak out about oppression and rally against injustices. In sitting down with him, I witnessed how fundamental Max’s activism is to his art. He creatively uses humor not merely as a mode of entertainment, but also as a form of critique and mobilization.
