Researchers at the University of New Mexico – a psychologist and an anthropologist – have discovered that men are funnier than women. The findings are based on captions improvised for three uncaptioned New Yorker cartoons by 200 male and 200 female university students.
But as the Chronicle of Higher Education points out, the research is not conclusive. So now that I know that, I can go see broadminded, the all-female sketch comedy troupe, perform “Blood is Thicker than Liquor” this weekend at the Alchemist Theatre in Bayview.
Show times are 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday, and 4 p.m., Sunday. For a review, see ThirdCoast Digest. For $10 tickets, go to the Alchemist.
Oh yeah, and the same study that says men are funnier says humor is sexy. What are you laughing at?
