Thinking about comedy

A classic monty python clip about what is funny.

also, lots of books in library which discuss psychology of laughter, comedy techniques and principles of comedy. Stewart Lee a good one to watch for deconstructing his own comedy and jokes as well.
This is a good one:

Types of comedy

Unit 6 (Vanessa's idea)

I want to proceed with the idea of turning our performance into a comedy exploration. It would involve each of us trying different types of what supposedly is comedy. (Chris, if you could post the picture of the types of comedy from the board...if you took it) You can still do stand-up, in which they would explore what is it about each of the stand-ups that makes them laugh. Also, are they really laughing or going along with? Do they know why they are laughing? Is it the joke or the way it is delivered?

Please consider this idea or at least give a shot. To me, it feels like it would gel everything nicely, without over complicating things, due to how we were trying to structure it.
