Not all is comic WE ALL laugh at a comedian's antics, but come to think of it, it is a difficult job ("Comedy requires a sense of humour, lot of care: AUS professor,"Jan.16, The Gulf Today). I think it is tougher than doing a serious role on stage or even in front of the camera. However, what caught my attention was Mina Liccione's list of reasons for people who took up her comedy class. Some had a fear of public speaking, but some came because they had a midlife crisis! Also what I found revelatory was her statement that a lot of comedians do not like to help others, and that "the best kind of comedy is not the one that just makes you laugh, it's the one that makes you think."
