The Threat of Humour
HAMMERGRIN PRESENTS: The Threat of Humour
Date: Thursday 28th - Saturday 30th June @ 9pm
Tickets: €15 / €10
Venue: Cork Arts Theatre

From the people who brought you ‘Trying Jokes’, ‘The Trying Times’ and ‘Apocalypse, Then’ comes an extraordinary evening of propaganda and entertainment…The Threat of Humour showcases the fervent antihumour experiments of Hammergrin’s talented filmmakers, scriptwriters, singers, and puppeteers. From the Cork made ‘Crying Laughing’ (the only documentary ever funded by a Humour Committee) to a no-holds-barred ‘Humour- Duel’ the unique evening will show the most humorous among you the error of your ways...

“one of the most intelligent, wonderful, genuinely ‘on the mark’ funny events I have ever had the good fortune to attend” – audience member ‘The Threat of Humour’ March 2006
