Description
Science still can’t explain exactly what makes something funny- joy, surprise, insight, embarrassment, and fear can all elicit laughter, but WHYYYYY??? Host Abby Wambaugh, probably the only person in the world imprudent enough to get a degree in Humor and Social Change, will talk to comedians, writers, cartoonists, psychologists, and scientists to explore what makes us, (and them!) laugh and why. We’re doing it for science! For human understanding! And also to improve our host’s stand-up set.
