COMEDY VS. THE APOCALYPSE

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Speaker David Misch, a professional comedian whose credits include “Mork and Mindy,” “The Muppets Take Manhattan” and “Saturday Night Live,” and Funny: The Book.

Nowadays everyone’s inbox is filled with memes, cartoons and jokes about our continuing political, economic, and environmental disasters. And even though each one is another reminder of a horrible situation, we laugh. Why? Because we have to; laughter is critical in terrible times because it reminds us that we can still feel joy. Join David Misch to see how comedy has always laughed at tragedy—from the Black Death to the Holocaust to 9/11; how we’re doing it now; and how humor can help get us to tomorrow.
