How does the creative process in comedy work?

Question

Is there anyone who can enlighten us on the creative process of comedy? How do comedians come up with their material?

Answer 1

I hope Andrew breaks down the psychology of a country music star's creative, yet harmful journey of writing a new album

Answer 2

Hey Mr Huberman, I have a question for you: often times when I dim my lights down at night so that I don't diminish my melatonin for that night, my girlfriend says "turn the lights on, you're going to ruin your eyes." I think this is a myth, but is it true that you can ruin your eyes from trying to read for example with too dimmed lights? I've never heard you talk about this.

Answer 3

Funny - my sense of humor is kind of almost nonexistent, but I must say I am unbelievably creative. That’s always been the case there’s nothing to do with humor. I am actually an incredible optimist and very enthusiastic about a lot of things are pretty much life and people… I believe is the key to creativity is not so much humor and is more of positivity of some sort.
You can’t be Creative if you’re down and out it’s just the way it is

Just listening to (and enjoying!) yet another episode; heard the ad for David’s protein bars.. which I haven’t noticed in a few episodes, anyways,,, idk if you noticed or not but they’ve changed their ingredients in an unfortunate way. Swapped the stevia/monk fruit for artificial sweetener and added artificial flavors. You’re too good for that Hub’s!
