Guest john Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 A patient complaining of severe depression consulted his physician Dr. Abernathy . After Dr. Abernathy completed the medical medical examination of his patient for severe depression, he told his patient that the best cure for this sickness is to seek amusement & laughter , therefore go & hear the comedian Grimaldi perform at the local theater because he will make you laugh & that medicine will be better than any medicinal drugs. The patient then told his Doctor "I am Grimaldi".
Sapphire Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Probably told not to laugh at his own jokes.
Yenn Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Not unknown for comedians to be depressed. Several have comitted suicide. Tony Hancock comes to mind. I doubt that Yank comedians suffer, I just suffer listening to their complete lack pf humour. 2

However, the issue is still the same: many people who entertain/cause others to laugh are melancholy and depressed themselves.
Old Koreelah Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 ...many people who entertain/cause others to laugh are melancholy and depressed themselves. I suffer the double whammy. I'm depressed and nobody finds me entertaining. 2
