Comedipedia

Comedy for curious readers and practising writers.

Comedipedia connects a searchable joke archive, explanations of humor mechanisms and practical writing exercises. Start with a joke that interests you, examine the turn that makes it work, and try the technique in your own voice.

The Funny Engine is our companion joke-writing workbook. Its reader resources support a progression from observations and premises to rewrites, a short set and notes from performance.
