Do we in our time have an answer to the question of what we really mean by the word ‘comedy’? Not at all. So it is fitting that we should raise anew the question of the meaning of comedy. But are we nowadays even perplexed at our inability to understand the expression ‘Comedy’? Not at all. So first of all we must reawaken an understanding for the meaning of this question. Our aim in the following hour is to work out the question of the meaning of Comedy and to do so concretely. Our provisional aim is the Interpretation of the output of Steve Coogan from 1991 to 1997 as the possible horizon for any understanding whatsoever of Comedy. Dick can do the voice.
