  • Summary

  • Our yoga teacher and stand-up comedian duo once again meet up to chat over a hot drink. This time it's about whether we've lacked unifying cultural references since 1997, and then there's a long discussion about laughter. They discuss why we laugh in certain settings, why one person falling over might be funny but another person falling isn't, the concept of punching up and down, comedy or laughters use in breaking tension and creating in/out group dynamics. Why we fear being laughed at, embarrassment, involuntary noises in yoga classes, self-deprecation as a tool, being addicted to getting laughs, laughter yoga, laughters health benefits, experiencing transcendent moments as part of a group and how that can turn dark, dignity, true confidence and the lies in Jurassic Park.
