Trying to figure things out was my gig. Without the human condition, there's no struggle, no pain and that means no laughter.
The only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can't fake it.
You got to pay your dues to get the joke. Besides, laughter is cheap and very portable. If there's a pogrom, or they're blaming you for the plague, nothing is easier to pack than a sense of humor.
