Whether you’re trying to get a little funnier, on stage or in daily life, or if you’re just curious about humour and laughter, which are universal human traits that have so far remained unexplained, this book will provide insights not only on how and why we laugh, but on how we relate. Written to be accessible by comedians and audiences alike, this book is for anyone who likes to laugh. Which is everyone, isn’t it?
