Introduction

From slapstick and romcoms to dark humour, satire and screwballs, the comedy genre includes tropes such as the awkward protagonist, hilarious misunderstandings, the odd couple pairing and the unexpected twist that turn chaos into comedy gold. Whether it’s poking fun at everyday life, satirising society or delivering outrageous antics, comedy films bring joy and levity to the screen. Discover why laughter remains one of the most powerful tools for storytelling and connection.

Hosted by Leigh Singer, film journalist, programmer and video essayist.
