How does the creative process in comedy work?

Question

Could someone please illuminate the process behind creating a comedy routine?

Answer 1

I love when Dr. Huberman discusses the approach/avoidance/neutrality triad and it's put such more apropos as yum/yuck/meh especially in modernity. As a fledgling neuroscience student I just really appreciate these conversations and can't wait for the summer semester to get started. Let's goooooooo

Answer 2

What, saying Andrew has no sense of humor?  Disagree

Answer 4

Yes! Thank you for this one Dr. Huberman. I've been thinking a lot about how a comedic mindset may be ideal for students, since the open mindedness and metacognitive awareness of what expectations are and how to subvert them is ideal for neuroplasticity/ making the most out of any feedback you receive.

Answer 5

1 of the 250. Thank em.

Answer 6

Dr. Huberman, could you explore the link between TMJ, cervical spine dysfunction, and stored trauma? I’m especially curious how specific vertebrae might impact things we don’t usually associate with the spine—like swallowing, breathing, or focus. Your work means a lot—thank you.

Answer 7

Expansion of the mind is the ability to transmute knowledge into a multitude of versions or levels so that every individual can understand how experience and emotion merge

Answer 8

Hey Dr Andrew. Would be honoured to have the following queries worked out…
1. Are headphones/earbuds alright for our ears in the long term? Lately people around have been claiming them to harm the ears…if so, then should we eliminate their use completely or what’s the limits of using them?
And are headphones better or earbuds if sth still gotta be used??

2. There’s a big notion regarding the benefits of listening to music/songs in general. So much so that some people take it for an essential part of their daily lives… is music really essential or can we go about living an entire life devoid of it and still making good…if it’s possible, will be a big time saver for me…
P.S: Don’t judge me for this time consciousness. An Indian student appearing for medical entrance test… Apart from study, can afford bare minimum stuff in routine…( meditation included)…

Answer 10

Listening to you guys talk about energy in an audience and crafting your skills as you do the work makes me think of what it felt like teaching high school! No one teaches you how to present to high school kids. It can be very intimidating. Some people are naturals. I was not. It took me two years before I really gained my confidence. And they will eat you alive if they know you are nervous or afraid. Anyways I thought it was interesting the parallels that I grabbed from this discussion. As always enjoy all of your discussions thank you.

Answer 11

Could you please cover the topic Consciousness, awareness? Please, I think the audience wants it too❤

Answer 13

Hello Dr. Huberman, I wanted to ask if there was a reason for the print length to be different of your upcoming book "Protocols" in different countries. I've already placed the pre-order and cannot wait for it to arrive haha.

Thank you for everything you do for science!

Two of my fav!❤❤❤

Answer 15

If anyone has an interest in becoming a comedian, take an improv class. You'll soon find out if you're funny or not. My family and friends never told me I was funny. But my improv teachers, fellow students and audience members did. It gave me enough confidence to go ahead and attend open mics.

Answer 16

Would you consider an ep on Retinitis Pigmentosa? It runs in my family and no Dr has been able to advise on the carriers experience, I don’t display typical symptoms like the affected family members but there is some from of dystrophy going on.
