Comedy as Resistance: The Legacy of Dick Gregory

The Laughter That Changed the World Lives Made to Laugh (More or Less): A pioneer of Black stand-up comedy, Dick Gregory turned satire into civil resistance—and he wasn’t the only one. By Carlo Amatetti – 06/02/2025 Illustration by Leonardo Rodriguez Published by: Azione.CH "Laughter has always been a liberating act. But we often forget that those who make us laugh are sometimes the very ones who most clearly denounce injustice, expose hypocrisy, and confront the powerful. At key moments in history, comedians have been far more than entertainers—they’ve helped reshape the course of events. One standout example? The United States of America."
