single-word-requests

I'm looking for a literary word which means "to create laughter". Is there such a word in English?

I'm going to use this word in the following title:

Philosophical Theories of "Creating Laughter" and Study of Adaptive Samples of His Humor

Best Answer

A commonly-used term for this is risible, with senses including

  1. Of or pertaining to laughter
  2. Provoking laughter; ludicrous; ridiculous; humorously insignificant
  3. (of a person) Easily laughing; prone to laughter

The first part of the title you're considering would read "Philosophical Theories of Risibility". (I don't know what you mean in the second part of the title.)
