““Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog,” E.B. White once said. “You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.”

It’s about everything from the complex ferment of emotions and experience that lets a joke bubble to the surface, to the alchemy between performer and audience that brings it to life, and all the steps in between. And in the process you get a glimpse into the hearts and minds of some of the funniest people around, in conversations that are often just as entertaining as the bits themselves.”
