This subject matter is handled very well given the limited program length. It focuses on the vulgar humour of a potty mouthed comedian who is in cahoots with a bogus minister to their individual financial benefit. The object is to boost the comedian's ticket sales by the minister claiming in a public forum that the comedian's content is despicable. People on the minister's side send him donations while people who side with "The potty man" line up to buy show tickets.
Judge Harry figures out their game and confronts them with their duplicity in a believable way. BIG SPOILER alert: Dan at first is a fan of "The Potty Man" till at length he agrees the humour becomes too offensive. The comedian responds to Dan's change of heart by calling him a "homo"-Dan can barely hold in his laughter at the comedian's huge gaffe.
Two decades later, comedy is more crass than ever and as Harry observed, still appeals to the "dark side" of humanity. It's worth viewing, provocative and insightful even though it does take sides on the issues it raised.
