Raanan Hershberg — The comedian's instrument is the audience | Comedians on Campus #13

A crazy thing happened to me yesterday. And also on the bus on the way here. In general, it has been an extraordinary week. Why is it important for stand-up that jokes are based on recent and real life (even though we all know that's a lie)? In this exciting new episode, Raanan Hershberg, a (literally) fresh yet seasoned comedian, and master of deprecating and all sorts of humor, talks about his craft with us. Among other topics, we talk about authenticity in humor - that it is all predicated on lies and depends on audiences' (impressive) suspension of disbelief, but there is core truth there, and emotional authenticity. In essence, Raanan says a comedian's talent is mental. Whereas singers use their voice and musicians play their instruments - a good comedian plays the audience.Raanan recommends Stewart Lee's takedown of James Corden:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q60Y8tPzWpgAmir recommends this great bit by Drew Thomas:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/51PFDg-1J7MShai recommends this Emily catalano set about anxiety:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcSidXJTnjA&t=32sלהאזנה לפרקים נוספים "קומיקאים בקמפוס"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNiWLB_wsOg5nUfyzNCIrHKiPMXWEncrChttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/4N5YZDjlXsgcQS30x6eFAq?si=yOQ_kHppSPuSy2-Jc6Gf-Q__________________________________________________ • תל אביב 360 בפייסבוק ◄ https://www.facebook.com/TAU360Podcast • תל אביב 360 בקבוצת הוואטסאפ השקטה ◄ https://chat.whatsapp.com/BZnaJVAPEYfF9xUTDIzDoL • תל אביב 360 בספוטיפיי ◄ https://open.spotify.com/show/1cWpqrcEY7qOWCuExs2Xmo • לאתר תל אביב 360 ◄ https://telaviv360.sites.tau.ac.il
