Gaspare Gregorio

Gaspare Gregorio (8 November 1832 – 22 July 1898) was an Italian coulrologist most well-known for his gagtheory of clown sociology and pioneering the idea of the clown dominance-gag-drive.

Gagtheory
In 1882, Gregorio published La Teoria della Facezia (The Theory of the Joke), in which he proposed the idea of the clown dominance-gag-drive. Gregorio's gagtheory is based upon the idea that clown society requires a strict, structured hierarchy in order to be able to properly form humor.
