Lesson two looks at devices, genres and conventions of humour. In this lesson, we interview Marc Lottering and the creators of the “Madam and Eve” cartoons about the techniques they use to create humour. These interviews will help learners to see how some humorous devices are used in the genres of stand-up comedy and cartoons. As an extension to this lesson you may want to find some current “Madam and Eve” cartoons for your learners to analyse. These cartoons appear in many newspapers and collections of cartoons are also available.
