Reddit reviews The Emancipated Spectator

If you're interested in the philosophy of comedy as stimulus, I recommend Jacques Ranciere's book The Emancipated Spectator and Elizabeth Grosz's Chaos, Territory, Art. They combine this idea of "the frame of experience" with aesthetic philosophy to pose questions about the role of affect (like laughter) in art. An understanding of humor that addresses facts (as in Dennett's neuroscientific approach), as well as concepts (Bergson) and experiences(Ranciere/Grosz), will provide a greater insight than any one of those will individually.
