Hello, Friend! In this episode of Messed-Up to Set-Ups, I sit down again with comedian Chris Crawford for a hilarious live joke-workshopping session. In this one, we build, punch up, and reshape ideas in real time. We get into names, wordplay, farts, potlucks, and a nice little bit that keeps getting sharper as we go. If you love clean comedy, joke construction, and seeing how a premise goes from rough idea to something actually usable, this one is packed with laughs and practical takeaways. Messed-Up to Set-Ups is all about momentum through honest creative work, and this episode gives you a front-row seat to the process. Tune in!
Just as I show in this video, one of my main goals is to help comedians write better jokes. But I also want to help comedians understand the invisible thinking behind better comedy and build momentum. I want to help them generate small shifts in their everyday thinking that’ll produce bigger shifts on stage. That’s exactly why I wrote Comedy Mindhacks.
