Hello, Friend! In this episode of Messed-Up to Set-Ups, I’m joined once again by comedian Joel Brill. This is Part 2 of our conversation, and we do what comedians love most: Take messy real-life frustrations and turn them into laughs with live joke-workshopping and quick riffing. We build some momentum by digging into technology that seems to hate us, autocorrect disasters, Siri and Alexa behaving like jealous housemates, and a pile of playful tangents that somehow keep getting funnier as we go. If you enjoy clean, clever comedy, practical joke-building, and a behind-the-scenes look at how raw thoughts become tighter bits, you’re going to have a great time with this episode. 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.
This entire book is built around helping comedians identify the mental obstacles that quietly slow their growth and steal their momentum.
