AY Lecture Series – British and American Comedy

Sharing is caring!

This months AY lecture looks at the topic of comedy and will serve to expand and develop students knowledge of the various ways humour (Humor) is conveyed using the English language. Following a general overview of some of the characteristics of British humour, the lecture will then briefly review innuendos, puns and euphemisms, including some (tasteful) examples of each. The lecture will then move on to outline some of the more visual forms of comedy such as, physical and slapstick before then giving an overview of some of the other common types of Anglo-American comedy such as, observational, black, surrealism and satire. The lecture will conclude with a brief review of the topics covered and also remind students of the topics which are never deemed funny.

March 6th and 7th – 2:30pm
