Take a little time to review the interview with Viktor Fankl at the link below. As you listen pay particular attention to the portion of the interview in which Frankl describes the conditional nature of Man's freedom. Note also that freedom for Frankl lies in the capacity to make decisions in response to a situation. You will see that comedy, more specifically clowning, requires action within difficult circumstances.
