"Why is That So Funny?" starts with a discussion begins with a discussion of the different types of laughter that can be provoked by performance - from a sly chuckle to a great big belly-laugh. It then goes on to present over 100 games and exercises that have been developed to demonstrate and investigate the entire range of comic possibilities open to a performer. The result is an intensely practical and thoroughly stimulating examination of how physical comedy really works.
