This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Austerity is no laughing matter... except for when it is. Comedian Kevin Gildea explores our new economic landscape and our inability to talk about it clearly. Award winning writer, actor and comedian Kevin Gildea’s current work focuses on Ireland’s post-bust landscape and the words we use to describe it. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
