"Humor is just another defense against the universe." – Mel Brooks
Humour is an art with a delicate balance that few can master but, in these trying times, being able to laugh feels more important than ever.
Join Senior Judge Richard Glover with the newly announced winner of 2025 Russell Prize for Humour Writing as they discuss what really gets us laughing.
The Russell Prize for Humour Writing was established at the bequest of Peter Wentworth Russell to celebrate, recognise and encourage humorous writing. The Prize is administered by the State Library of NSW and its Foundation on behalf of the estate of the Prize’s benefactor, the late Peter Wentworth Russell.
