05.08: The Humor Code: A Global Search for What Makes Things Funny
2014-04-16 00:34:59| Powells Books Events Calendar
Two guys. Nineteen experiments. Five continents. Ninety-one thousand miles. And a book that will forever change the way you think about humor. Dr. Peter McGraw, founder of the Humor Research Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, teamed up with journalist Joel Warner on a far-reaching search for the secret behind humor. In their quixotic hunt, they questioned countless experts, from comedians like Louis C. K. to rat-tickling researchers. Part road-trip comedy and part social science experiment, The Humor Code (Simon & Schuster) details their epic quest. This event is presented in conjunction with the Bridgetown Comedy Festival (May 8–11).
