Over the years, British comedy has intentionally reflected serious issues such as crime, religion in a more comical way. By doing this, British comedy is able to satirise issues in order to attract a larger demographic. However, comedy films in general, seemingly respond to issues out of fear, as films such as Monty Python: Life of Brian and Four Lions have been very controversial, in terms of their plots and directors.
Mostly British comedy reflects issues which have been present within a decade, as the rise in islamaphobia and terrorism has resulted in a wave of films which look at particular secular faiths such as Islam, but in a comical way. Therefore, I will analyse particular issues in comedy and will link this to the context of the time.
