My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven’t got that, it’s very sad.

Wisdom frames his comic persona as deliberately broad, physical, and emotionally direct—humour that works on the level of play, mishap, and innocence rather than sophistication or cynicism. By stretching the audience from “three to 93,” he argues that good comedy can be intergenerational when it appeals to a shared capacity for childlike delight. The second sentence turns the claim into a gentle rebuke: lacking that “slightly childish” sensibility is not a mark of maturity but a kind of loss. Implicitly, he defends popular entertainment against snobbery, suggesting that openness to simple laughter is a human virtue and that comedy’s value lies in restoring lightness and empathy.
