What makes us laugh? How does comedy affect our behaviour?The Psychology of Comedy provides a unique insight into the role of laughter and humour in our lives. Why is comedy so important?
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.
