Culture of Humour and Jokes

Laughter is universal. Humour is a part of being human. Everyone tells jokes. But across the water and over the mountains, sometimes we find ourselves the only ones not laughing.  Hostion and Andrea will tell jokes, laugh and discuss the nuances of humour in new social settings. Are there differences of humour and comedy among cultures? How do you translate a joke so others can understand? Can comedy be used to address stereotypes of cultures or can it be used to perpetuate isolation? Join them as they underscore the importance of laughter in different cultures and how humour creates the capacity to connect and to belong - something that we all long for in society, and in our new places we call home.Let us know what you think of this episode!
