New comedy wave tests limits on criticism in Cuba

Cuban actor Luis Silva whose stage name is "Panfilo" performs in front of the public in Havana, Cuba, Monday, Dec. 8, 2014. The comedian's jokes resonate deeply with Cubans frustrated by petty corruption, scarcity of many goods, and the poor quality of even the most basic staples. (AP Photo/Desmond Boylan) HAVANA (AP) — Panfilo, the elderly protagonist in a weekly show on Cuban state television, has a broken water pipe in his house. When the city repair worker says it'll take six months to fix, Panfilo bribes her with a bottle of shampoo and the repair is made the following day.
