Laughter, the best medicine in the tough theatre of politics

 

As you hold your breath, imagining every horror and worst-case scenario in next month’s repeat presidential election, I am praying that you don’t miss the lighter side of things. For many of us, seeing politicians slagging each other daily is a huge turn-off. It also makes people uneasy to see middle-aged men constantly hurling epithets at each other. However, the political theatre also provides us with a rich genre of humour.
