Make a WISE Gift
In Humor 101, we will delve into the types, history, and characters of comedy. We will deep-dive into slapstick, dark, stand-up, surreal, improvisational, topical, and observational humor with the likes of Buster Keaton, Lucille Ball, Henny Youngman, Monty Python, George Carlin, Richard Pryor as well as modern comics like Jerry Seinfeld and Worcester’s Orlando Baxter. Homework will involve researching a type of humor that makes you laugh. The goal is an appreciation of all types of humor.
