🎭 Let's Discuss: Comedy - What makes us laugh?

Join us for this philosophical discussion where we examine the topic of comedy: from the first slapstick jokes of prehistoric cavemen to the stand-up comedians and blockbuster movies of today.

Some of the questions that we might try to answer:

• What is the history of comedy and how has it changed over time?
• Is there a deeper purpose to comedy beyond just making us laugh?
• Are there elements of comedy that are universally funny, regardless of time and place?
• What is the role of taboo and sensitive topics in comedy, such as sex and politics?
• How does comedy differ between mediums, such as literature, film, and music?
• How does comedy interact with other genres, such as drama and horror?

The event is officially 90 minutes long, but you are welcome to stay longer and keep the conversation going!
