Gabriel Stüve on Instagram: "Laughing at the unthinkable. Dame Edna once said: “I have never been happier since my husband died.” The audience immediately bursts out laughing. A tragic event is named — death — and instantly transformed into comedy. This kind of humor works because it breaks expectations without feeling threatening. Death is usually treated with solemnity; by flipping it into joy, Dame Edna creates emotional incongruity, and laughter releases the tension we all feel around it. Fr
