Shortlist | punch:line
Tragicomedy, black comedy or romantic comedy. Here we escape the seriousness of life and at most cry with laughter. What do you do when, as president, you hear the unpleasant comments of your colleagues or are repeatedly reborn as an inanimate object? This and other topics will be the themes of this block in which that hits you with every punch:line.
