The 2009 Festival explored the many ethnic and cultural shadings of laughter, the battles around humor and political correctness, gallows humor and medical ethics, laughter as imagined by artists including Molière, Mozart, Beckett, laughter and the brain, and an array of opinions on the subject proffered by comedians, filmmakers, writers, politicians, economists, and scholars.
Come back soon! More Festival content will be added during the coming months.
