Today’s question of my new Q&A prompt asks:

Do you ever go to stand-up comedy shows?

To date I watch a comedy show on TV called “Die besten Comedians Deutschlands” which translates to “Germany’s best comedians”. From what I understand, they are on tour in 2026 and 2027. I would love to see them live just once, even knowing, that getting to the venue in Frankfurt and back home with public transportation would be quite the challenge. Not to mention all the people, the noise, the commotion [due to misophonia]. But it would be so worth it. I’ll keep the idea tumbling about in that head of mine and just maybe, I can come up with a way to make it happen for myself. Especially in such demanding, difficult times a few good laughs are just the ticket, don’t you think?

What makes you laugh?
View all responses

What makes me laugh always depends on how the day is going, as well as my frame of mind. One day I find my own clumsiness, or another ‘duh-moment’ amusing, the very next day it may well upset me.
My animals always add joy and laughter to every day. Except, currently I don’t have a fur kid in my life – not yet anyway.
Sometimes it can be an ordinary word. Out of the blue it just cracks me up, perhaps due to having been repeated one too many times, or because it was pronounced incorrectly?
Stand-up comedy makes me laugh, well, Paul Panzer does. He is a German comedian, my favorite. No matter what it is, no matter how bad it is, he always gets me giggling. His comedy is my secret weapon, at least until the next fur kiddo moves in.

Keep smiling, it certainly is better than crying. Have a wonderful weekend.
