Comedy and psychology -a personal perspective

摘要

I'm about to do something that would terrify most people. I'm leaning with my back to the bar, guitar in hand, waiting as a compere warms up an audience in a central London comedy club. The punters have paid, bought themselves a drink, and now want to laugh. Once he's finished, I'll be up next, hoping to entertain the room with my first ever stand-up comedy routine.
