Taking a joke and running with it can be harder work than you think. So how do writers go about being amusing? Is it something you're born with or can it be learnt? How do you keep a room in stitches, and how do you introduce levity into heavier subjects?

Join four funny storytellers as they spill the beans on what it takes to make people laugh, and why they use humour to share their message with audiences.

This panel features Amy Hetherington, Barry Jonsberg, and Sean Guy, and is facilitated by Marieke Hardy.
