#80 Stop Explaining the Joke

from The Funny Podcast

Our guest has spent years watching audiences decide in a single second whether a joke is worth their laughter. This week we get into the mechanics of confidence, why the best comics know when to explain less, how to recover from a dead room, and the surprising role of misunderstanding in great comedy. We argue about whether improv makes you a better writer, what open mics teach that classes never will, and why the funniest people are often the best listeners. Plenty of laughs, a few honest confessions, and one habit that will make you sharper whether you're on stage or just telling a story at dinner. #comedy #comedyinterviews #funnypodcast #standup #humor
