Psycomedy is back for this Christmas special and if you're stuck for a last minute gift idea, why not get a book exploring the psychology of comedy for that comedy loving loved one. Nathan chats to Professor Neil Martin about his book The Psychology of Comedy, trying to find out what makes us laugh and why some are compelled to make jokes for a living.
