I'm with you, Liz, I coudn't stop laughing while watching Death at a Funeral .  It was full of perfect timing and hysterical facial expressions.  A great comedy of errors!

For some reason, seeing this question brings to mind a comedy routine from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (late 60's TV show). The routine centres around a "dirty old man" in a trenchcoat and the middle-aged... More »

The more alternatives, the more difficult the choice.

Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.

I am writing a play which I probably will not finish until the end of November. I am writing it with considerable pleasure, though I sin frightfully against the conventions of the stage. It is a comedy with three female parts, six male, four acts, a landscape (view of the lake), lots of talk on literature, little action and tons of love.

Comedy is tragedy plus time.

All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

A great flame follows a little spark.

For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense.

Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here

He listens well who takes notes.
