Trauma + Stand-Up (with James Barr)

They said that tragedy + time = comedy. What if you didn't want to wait? What if you wanted to talk about your experience immediately? This week I'm joined by James Barr to chat about his show coming to Australia, Sorry I Hurt Your Son (Said My Ex to My Mum). We talk about the process of turning a traumatic experience into a stand-up show, the challenging first season, working with collaborators, the power of permission, and being "OK".Follow James.Follow your host, Marcel Blanch-de Wilt.Follow The Comedy Writers Group on instagram and join the patreon.Unlock on our online meet-ups and workshopsAccess weekly bonus episodesAccess the first 90 episodes of the podcastExclusive access to our discord and facebook groups Hosted on Acast.
