A practical investigation of how comedy works, by a well-respected
practitioner and teacher. With a Foreword by Toby Jones. Comedy is
recognised as one of the most problematic areas of performances.
For that reason, it is rarely written about in any systematic way.
John Wright, founder of Trestle Theatre and Told by an Idiot,
brings a wide range of experience of physical comedy to this unique
exploration of comedy and comedic techniques. The book opens with
an analysis of the different kinds of laughter that can be provoked
by performance. This is followed by the main part of the book:
games and exercises devised to demonstrate and investigate the
whole range of comic possibilities open to a performer. Why Is That
So Funny? is an invaluable book for teachers and performers, and a
fascinating read for anyone interested in how comedy works.
