Does women’s preference for comedy vary across the menstrual cycle?
.
Indicates that premenstrual and menstrual women preferred comedy over alternative choices more strongly than did women midway through the cycle. Suggests that this preference reflects a desire to overcome the hormonally mediated noxious mood states that are characteristically associated with the premenstrual and menstrual phases of the cycle.

Some comedy I would recommend:
- Louis C.K. – Shameless
- Chris Rock – Bring The Pain
- Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill
- Lewis Black – Black on Broadway
- Patton Oswalt: No Reason to Complain
- Richard Pryor – Is It Something I Said
