We try to stand up the theory that food is getting funnier because modern diets make it a richer sauce of comedy.Comedy about food seems to have moved a long way from oddly shaped vegetables and Charlie Chaplin slipping on a banana skin, to something more nuanced.

Emily Thomas meets comedians JP Sears, Tats Nkonzo and Alex Thomopoulos, and comedy expert Delia Chiaro to explore the comedy potential of food. You know, just for laughs.(Photo: A king feasting alone in a banquet hall. Credit: Getty Images)
