CARYSFORT PRESS LTD FOR THE SAKE OF SANITY KA...

Humour claims no ideological affiliation - its workings merit inspection in any and every
individual case  in light of the who  what  where and when of a joke  including the manner of
performance  the socio-cultural context  the dynamic amongst participants  and who knows how
many other factors particular to the instance. There are as many insights to be gained from the
deployment of humour in performance as people to think about it - so herein lie a healthy
handful of responses from a variety of perspectives. For the Sake of Sanity: Doing things with
humour in Irish performance assembles a range of essays from practitioners  academics  and
journalists  all of whom address the attempt to make an audience laugh in various Irish
contexts over the past century. With a general emphasis on theatre  the collection also
includes essays on film  television and stand-up comedy for those insights into practice 
society and culture revealed uniquely through instances of humour in performance.
