A comedian starts a joke by making an interesting assertion.
The audience wonders, “How will they ever prove that to us with their unique take?”
Chris and I talk about the tactics to make that happen as we break down some pro comic bits and teach how to write jokes with “premise intrigue.”
Like play-by-play sports analysts, we also freeze frame and diagram comic material (Louis C.K, Bill Burr, Tom Papa) by pointing out the humor blueprint elements and heightening devices those pros used to get their laughs.
