 "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 type of jokes, their inner logic, their rhetoric and timing as well as different kind of stand-up comedy. Examples rom British and American stand-u will be played and laughed at before I ruin them."
