Summary
Hello, Friends! It’s Episode 102, which is also Part 2 of my conversation with comedian Big Rich Brock. In this episode of the Messed-Up To Set-Ups podcast, we dig into the art of comedy and the stories behind the jokes. Big Rich reveals some of the inspirations and real-life experiences that shape his humor and we also explore the creative process, the importance of finding your voice, and the joy of making people laugh. We do all this as we workshop some jokes then get into some on-the-spot comedy. If you want a fun look into the world of stand-up, tune in! JOKE WRITING COURSE : By the way, if you have any interest at all in learnig about your persona, how to write some jokes, or doing stand-up comedy, check out my online joke writing course, “The Joke Writer’s Lab,” HERE .
