How To Find Humor When Life Gets Hard | Chris Duffy

Chris Duffy is a comedian, writer, and podcast host who explores the role humor plays in resilience, connection, and everyday life. He has worked in comedy for more than a decade, taught improv, and hosts a podcast on the TED Audio Collective. His work focuses on how laughter can help people navigate stress, adversity, relationships, and difficult life experiences without minimizing what they’re going through. Today on the show, we discuss: why humor is a powerful tool for getting through adversity, how to tell when humor creates connection versus avoids the truth, why toxic positivity can make hard times even harder, simple ways to become funnier and more observant, how to laugh at yourself without tearing yourself down, and why embracing imperfection can build stronger relationships and greater resilience and much more.
