Comedy like music is therapeutic, it tends to soothe or remove unhappy moods or an unpopular experience during the course of a day. Were it not for music and comedy life would be pretty darn boring at times, and quite frankly, less worth living. Like all entertainment, comedy has to address something in life you are familiar with, otherwise you won't relate to it. You must be able to relate to something before you can find humor in it.
Laughter on the other hand can be evoked on the spur of a moment.

Surprise is the heart of comedy. Everyone has a little comedian hidden inside of them that peaks it's head out from time to time. Have you noticed how occasionally a person who rarely laughs can sometimes make you laugh. They can say something impetuously and completely out of their character and just timely enough to be funny. It came as a "surprise" to you both, something unexpected, and it made you both laugh. Many good friendships have started that way.
Remember when we were kids how we capped on each other, based on each other, sometimes so hard that somebody got mad and wanted to fight.
What did we do? Why, we kept on capping on them till they started laughing again, and the laughing went on for hours.

Basing is an effective way to deal with a heckler (a sour moment, bad time etc) too. Hecklers want to stop the show, or take the attention away from the laugh for one reason or another. Hecklers also find themselves the blunt of the laughs because the comedian (you) was prepared for them and got even more laughs at their (the bad times) expense. It's all good!
Each time we laugh we add years to our lives, at least that's what we now know.

Laughing heals and it is scientifically proven to heal, and I'll even take that a step further and say there is hardly anything that a person might suffer from in life that laughter won't heal. It has been documented that some cancer patients who refused to take their condition any other way but humorously, were healed by having such a positive attitude about their illness that their body's immune system reinforced itself. In conclusion, I'd like to make a suggestion.
Look for humor in everything, even that which would otherwise anger you! It can only make you a happier person.
