Travel, often associated with holidays, takes us out of our daily routine and places us in an unfamiliar environment conducive to adventure, making it a classic element of comedy. One might think, for instance, of the iconic Les Bronzés film series.
On holiday, even without traveling far, we leave behind the stifling, oppressive, and dreary confines of our daily lives to open ourselves up to the unknown. While traveling, we don’t know anyone. And, most importantly, no one knows us. This provides the perfect opportunity to invent new identities, ones more suited to adventure—and comedy.
