Human Experiences

Know why the best comedy works? Because we identify with it. It’s either something that’s happened to us, or something we’ve observed. Turns out this endears us to the comedy.

Same is true for many parts of life. Try it. See if you can relate to others when posting, presenting, communicating. Works like a charm.

    I have been debating for years whether to try stand up or not. When telling jokes I always try to relate to life situations we’ve all been through. When I think I have a good one and no one laughs, I get confused. Was the joke bad or are people just that used to me?

    I’ve been trying to make vlogs using sort of a stand up comic approach. I got some people telling me that what I thought was funny was actually thought provoking. That made me happy enough =0)

    This is what communication is all about at its heart- empathy. Not sympathy, but empathy- putting yourself into another’s shoes- things that ring true. Hence a recent post on GNM Parents- My Life as Marsha Brady- we all have crazy moments, leaving us feeling like sit com characters, or at least I do.

    On the opposite side of the equation… comedy (and life) is math.
