Manage episode 455634633 series 2132714
In this episode, we're diving deep into the craft of comedy writing. Today's episode, "Hope I'm Funny: The Hidden Secrets of Comedy Writing," explores the intricate art of making people laugh through storytelling.
We'll break down the holiday film "Red One," starring Chris Evans and The Rock, which cleverly blends Santa myths with humor and action. We’ll discuss the iterative process of writing comedy, from character development to the essential rewrites that refine the humor.
You'll also learn about historical comedy greats like Bill Murray, Tim Allen, and Jerry Seinfeld. You'll also explore how different tones can turn similar premises into serious dramas or laugh-out-loud comedies.
Prepare for a jam-packed episode filled with tips, techniques, and personal anecdotes on finding humor in your writing. Whether it's the absurdity of a Monty Python sketch or the collaborative spirit of a writer's room, we’re covering it all.
We'll highlight a festive read, "Come All Ye Faithless," that adds a humorous twist to holiday mythologies, with proceeds supporting the ACLU.
So sit back, relax, and join us as we unravel the hidden secrets of comedy writing, only on "Tell the Damn Story."
