  If anyone is interested in further reading, the link references this Psychology Today article[0] which is a synopsis of The Tears of a Clown: Understanding Comedy Writers(2009)[1] by the same author. PT article also references Pretend the world is funny and forever: a psychological analysis of comedians, clowns, and actors(1981)[2]. Pretty interesting read.
