Hello, Friend! In this episode of Messed-Up to Set-Ups, I’m back in the lab with Queen Aaliyah. In this one, we spend most of our time doing what comedians do best: Turning absurd real-life problems into something hilarious and relatable. Aaliyah brings some true stories about a job interview and a crazy dating mishap, and we workshop them together to turn them into jokes. Live and in real time, we put on display the art of finding punchlines in life’s messy situations. And we do it all while talking through the craft of clean comedy, storytelling, and the momentum that keeps a comic growing. If you’re curious about how comedians work and you love laughing, this one’s for you. Tune in!
And, hey, if you’re looking for a place to grow your skillset, I recently published Comedy Mindhacks: 100 Mental Shifts To Help Comedians & Creatives Succeed for exactly that reason.
