Has a culture of outrage created a new “right not to be offended?” What would some of America’s most revered comedians of bygone eras like Lenny Bruce and George Carlin think of today’s audiences who seem more preoccupied with taking offense than protecting free speech?

WHEN: Friday, November 13 at 7:15 p.m. and Monday, November 16 at 5:15 p.m.
WHERE: Greenwich Village’s IFC Center (323 6th Ave., New York, NY 10014)
TICKETS: $17. To purchase tickets, visit DOC NYC’s website.
