According to Jonathan Lynn, the comedy writer most famous for Yes Minister, If you want to make people laugh you need to have an eye for the mercury. He says “Before the audience is admitted, the temperature in the theatre should not be more than 65 degrees Fahrenheit….or maybe 68 if its really well, and silently, air conditioned. People do not laugh when they get hot. It should be cool but not cold”

Before you deliver your punchline today, check your thermometer.

Have a curious day.
