Dr. Ramsey’s new research study, “The humor paradox and identity in professional stand-up comedy: humor enactment as a predictor of personal-relational and enacted-relational identity gaps in the comedian–audience relationship,” was published in Communication Research Reports (https://doi.org/10.1080/08824096.2025.2464707). Dr. Ramsey is also scheduled to present his original humor research in April at the Southern States Communication Association meeting in Norfolk, VA.
