Elissa Bassist is the editor of the “Funny Women” column on The Rumpus and the author of Hysterical, a semi-finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor. As a founding contributor to The Rumpus, Elissa has written cultural and personal criticism since the website launched in 2009.

Elissa teaches humor writing at The New School and elsewhere, and she is probably her therapist’s favorite. Get to know Elissa in our Meet the Teaching Artist series. Tragedy plus time equals comedy, and in this three-hour seminar on "traumedy" we'll do that math and turn your tragedies into comedies (or at least more entertaining tragedies) using time and many more tools.   To paraphrase Joan Rivers:
