In this episode, we discuss the renaissance of comedy in Kazakhstan, particularly focusing on female comedians and how they address cultural trauma through humour. The conversation delves into mental health awareness within Kazakh communities, the role of women, and the challenges faced by daughters-in-law in traditional settings. We emphasise the importance of breaking cycles of tradition and the need for empowerment and solidarity among women, while also reflecting on the generational differences in parenting and cultural expectations.
