New research claims comedians have the same personalities with mad people or those with Mental health problems. According to researchers from Oxford University and Berkshire Healthcare NHS FoundationTrust, manic thinking helps join together ridiculous ideas that spark humor. The ability to make people laugh comes from a personality of the kind displayed by those with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Historically, the creativity of painters and playwrights has been linked to madness, but now British experts have found a link with comedians.
The stand-ups of a modern era are likely to have greater levels of extraversion – a form of impulsiveness – yet be more depressive and unsociable at the same time.Madcap antics may be part of a comedian’s on-stage persona. But the madness may not be just an act, say researchers.
