Short Introduction
Are you up for a laugh? Do you need to find your funny bone? Or do you just need to lighten the mood? Comedy could be the key to your happiness, just as it has been for many for hundreds upon hundreds of years. Whether its stand-up comedy, sit-coms, rom-coms, or a great funny movie that you’re after, we hope to be able to point you in the right direction.
You may not realise it, but some of the jokes you hear on an everyday basis have been around quite literally for hundreds of years – in fact comedy in its basest form has been around since human beings began walking the earth. Comedy is a form of communication which doesn’t discriminate between language, religion, age, or culture. What is funny to one person may not be funny to another – this is the beauty of having a unique sense of humour (rather like a fingerprint, no one is the same) – but it’s more than likely that somewhere someone will laugh at the same jokes you do, whether or not they’re hearing them in the same language.
Giving the gift of laughter is a great joy both to the giver and the receiver, whether you physically give someone a funny DVD or book, or simply tell a joke or amusing story. Comedy doesn’t have to be complicated – in fact some of the funniest and most revealing jokes or statements are quite often the most simple. In fact one of the great things about comedy is its way of catching people off-guard, often because the punch-line made you think, ‘Now why didn’t I think of that?!’
