Kamau Bell, and Wanda Sykes and examine them through the lens of Foss and Griffin’s notion of invitational rhetoric. By embedding specific humor embedded within jokes and revealing the rhetorical plot through incongruent humor, comedians express their real message and because audiences invite the messages by attending these shows, rhetorical possibilities exist.	cache/assc-4194.pdf	txt/assc-4194.txt
