Presented by Patrizia Paolini in association with Ridiculusmus – “One of our most refreshingly provocative theatre companies” Time Out
A performative lecture on how to be funny by a long-term associate of one of the UK’s most enduring double acts.
Patrizia Paolini - Sean Penn look-alike now studying for a doctorate on cabaret at the University of Kent – takes you through the equipment you’ll need to humorously confront the problems of the present day. Channelling Freud, Aristotle and other philosophers, she investigates what it is to be funny, releasing feel-good hormones in participants, engendering a feeling of connectedness and equipping participating citizens with the necessary tools for coping with a rapidly warming and increasingly unfunny world.
Ridiculusmus is a multi-award winning theatre company that has been producing seriously funny theatre since 1992.
