Chapter 10 - Gus Tate — Making it real makes it funny

You'd be skeptical if a ghost recommended dying. But how is that different from a parent recommending having kids? Both went down an irreversible path, and are beckoning you to come over.Gus Tate is a rising star in the NYC standup scene, and superb at metaphors. We talk to him, among other things, about why metaphors are funny, why self-deprecation is a good form for humor, and why making things tangible is a funniness booster. Gus even shares some semi-formulas he's found in comedy, that regretfully don't really help with creating new comedy. He is a brilliant comedic (and non-comedic) mind, so take a listen! As the ghost says, "it's very rewardingggg".Gus recommends Sheng Wang's observational humor:   • Self-Care is Humbling and Expensive | Shen...  Amir recommends the self-deprecation legend, Rodney Dangerfield:   • Rodney Dangerfield Has the Audience Roarin...  Shai recommends Mark Normand's fantastic metaphors:   • Mark Normand Stand-Up  להאזנה לפרקים נוספים "קומיקאים בקמפוס"   • קומיקאים בקמפוס (Comedians on Campus) — תל...  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4N5...____________________________ "תל אביב 360" ערוץ הפודקסטים של אוניברסיטת ת"אפודקסט המדע הגדול והמגוון בישראל• תל אביב 360 בפייסבוק ◄ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://360tau.com/Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• תל אביב 360 בקבוצת הוואטסאפ השקטה ◄ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://360tau.com/WhatsApp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• תל אביב 360 בספוטיפיי ◄ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://360tau.com/Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• לאתר תל אביב 360 ◄ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://360tau.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
