A Reflection on Worrying: The Comedy of Worry

The Essay

Available for over a year

We all have worries but rarely do we speak honestly about them. In this series of personal essays, five essayists share their intimate relationship with worry. Comedian Steve Punt muses on how worry has always been a bedfellow of comedy, how our worries can be a source of shared observational humour and how a lack of perspective between the trivial and serious can lead to hilarious consequences.
