From Brainstorms to Belly Laughs

from Messed-Up To Set-Ups - A MichaelHalcomb.Live Podcast Hosted by Michael Halcomb

Hello, Friends! It’s episode #99 of the Messed-Up to Set-Ups podcast which means we’re only 1 episode away from 100!!! Back with me today is Tommy Morin. He joins me in Part 2 of our chat to explore the art of turning chaos into comedy gold. We get into the hilariousness of crafting the perfect excuse, the power of a disheveled appearance, and how these can earn you unexpected admiration. We workshop jokes and do some on-the-spot comedy. So, whether you’re a comedian or even just someone who’s ever been late and had to wing it, this episode’s for you. Tune in! JOKE WRITING COURSE: By the way, if you have any interest at all in learning about your persona, how to write some jokes, or doing stand-up comedy, check out my online joke writing course, “The Joke Writer’s Lab,” HERE. JOKE MEMORY COURSE: My companion course to “The Joke Writer’s Lab” is now live: “The Comedian’s Memory Lab.” Learn how to conceptualize, organize, and memorize your entire comedy set. This method works for 10 jokes or 100, a set that’s 3 minutes of 1 hour. You can get it HERE. MichaelHalcomb.Live is a reader-supported publication.
