David Misch; The History of Ha!

The
Friends of the Palisades Library is pleased to present this program with David
Misch, who will discuss “The History of Ha!” Based on his book, Funny:
The Book/Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Comedy, David will present a
survey of absolutely everything funny that’s ever happened, from ancient Greece
to “Modern Family.” Mr. Misch looks at what comedy is, where it comes from, and
where it’s going (oddly enough, Philadelphia).

Among
David’s TV and movie credits are the multiple-Emmy-nominated “Mork and Mindy,”
the Emmy-losing “Duck­man,” the Emmy-engorged “Saturday Night Live,” and the
Emmy-ineligible The Muppets Take Manhattan.  David’s also a playwright, songwriter,
blogger, teacher and recovered stand-up comic.
