  Basing his thesis on the idea that humour is an agent of psychological liberation, the author tells us how laughter and our sense of humour work. The book gives the background of several well-known humorists - Steve Allen, Richard Armour, Sholom Aleichem - and provides a theory of how and why they have become expert in making others laugh.
