What makes us laugh? Why is comedy so important? How does comedy
affect our behaviour? The Psychology of Comedy provides a unique
insight into the role of laughter and humour in our lives. From the
mechanics of comedy and what makes a good joke, to the health
benefits of laughter, the book delves into different types of
comedy, from slapstick to complex puns, and the physiological
response it provokes. The dark side of comedy is also considered,
confronting the idea that what is funny to some can be offensive to
others, making this universal experience also highly subjective. In
a time when comedy continues to be one of the most popular and
enduring forms of art, The Psychology of Comedy reminds us that
laughter really is good for the soul.
