Sinopsis

Comedic Timing explores the science behind what makes us laugh, diving into the psychological and linguistic elements that make jokes work. It argues that comedic timing isn't just innate talent; it's a skill rooted in cognitive processes and speech patterns. The book investigates how our brains react to humor, highlighting the Benign-Violation Theory, which suggests we find humor in situations that are both threatening and safe. It also examines how expectation violations contribute to funniness.

 
The book progresses from the psychology of humor to the specifics of timing and delivery. It analyzes how wordplay, pauses, and intonation affect comedic impact, drawing examples from stand-up, improv, and everyday conversations. It also considers the impact of speech disfluencies and social context on humor perception.

 
By bridging performing arts and psychology, Comedic Timing offers insights into effective communication and the power of humor in social interactions.

Greener Than Thou - Surviving...

Mark Leiren-Young

A hilarious romp through the past, present, and future of Green politics in Canada.
"Incisive, frequently hilarious!" - Lean Out with Tara Headley
"I burst out loud laughing." - Brian Lilley, Full Comment Podcast
"Mark writes candidly and hilariously about the state of Green politics in Canada." - Joseph Planta, TheCommentary.ca
"It's great... Some of the details, my god, they make working in that party sound like living in a house of mirrors... Ouch." - Arshy Mann, The Hatchet
Mark Leiren-Young, a lifelong environmentalist and Leacock Medal-winning humour writer, journeys to the heart of greenness to reveal the toxic sludge of Canadian eco-politics.
For a brief moment in 2019, it looked like Elizabeth May’s Green wave could change Canadian politics and finally wield real power in Ottawa. During that brief moment, Leiren-Young was a campaign manager in a riding the federal Greens were sure to win. He quit on discovering that there was only one thing stopping the Green Party of Canada from changing the country’s electoral landscape forever: the Green Party of Canada.
The Greens were not ready for prime time. Or late night. Or four a.m., after last call, when voters stop being picky and are desperate for anyone with a nice smile. Once the spotlight hit, the Greens wilted, never to recover.
A comedic take on the sorry state of Canada’s environmental politics, Greener Than Thou explores how the Green party has repeatedly shot itself in the foot, blasted out its kneecaps, and done everything in its power to ensure it will never have a say in decisions that shape the future of our planet.
