This Friday, November 4, 2016, Dan Darling, Faculty in English, will present the following colloquium from noon-12:50 p.m. in C-1016:
You Fall Down; I LOL: The Theory of Comedy
Many of us are under the delusion that when we laugh it means we’re happy. But often when we’re laughing, it’s because someone has fallen, failed, surprised us, or even frightened us. In this colloquium Dan Darling, instructor of English and former circus-arts practitioner, will explore three theories of comedy that explain how complex laughter really is.
