The first is entitled Lucky Jim written by the infamous English writer Kingsley Amis and the second is A Confederacy of Dunces; a novel by the American writer John Kennedy Toole. The study aims to offer a detailed review of the theory of Humour and to outline the development of three of its major branches: the incongruity theory of Humour, the relief theory of Humour and finally the superiority theory of Humour. Through this, the analysis of the two novels is accomplished in light of these three major theories and examines the extent or lack of compatibility between the literary works and the different approaches to the Humour theory. The study concludes that Amis' novel Lucky Jim produces much of its laughter through the application of the incongruous while at the same time being compatible with the theories of superiority and relief. Toole's comic novel on the other hand seems more reliant on the incongruity and relief theories than the superiority theory. Keywords: A Confederacy of Dunces, Humour Theory, Incongruity, Lucky Jim, Relief, Superiority
