Comedy is a Serious Business
While growing up in Riga, there was a famous actor and clown by the name of Yuri Nikulin. I recently learned that he died twenty-five years ago, at the age of 75. He was a very funny actor in films, as well, whose performances made many people laugh. I translated some of his notes, besides the one in the title.
My favorite occupation is to live.
The loudest are people who demand quiet.
Living takes a lot of time.
Laughter is joy for people.
To make people laugh is a joy for me.
I can especially relate to the last one; which is perhaps why I published “42 Encounters with Laughter”, which you can order here.
These three images are from the book.
Enjoy and Share!
