(1979)

A psychotherapeutic approach to humor and the fact that all humor is a form of solace.

Like The Aristocrats, this explores what really lies behind humor and it is often not a very pretty and sometimes a self-indulgent sight: A curious hit-and-miss collation of hilarious jokes and jokes about jokes.
