How do jokes work? An analytical approach to stand-up comedy by Torben Sangild.

"Never explain a joke, some people say. But if you have already laughed at it, there is not much to ruin. So I will explain some types of jokes, their inner logic, their rhetoric and timing as well as different kind of stand-up comedy. Examples from British and American stand-up will be played and laughed at before I ruin them."

The event will take place on Wednesday 27th of April, 4-6 pm., Building 1485, room 642, Jens Chr. Skous Vej 2, Nobelparken.
