Everybody has at least one bad habit they resist or feel shame about, and as a result of that shame, don't feel right laughing about. Not only is it okay to laugh, laughing about our shame can bring about the change we need to put it in the past. Joining this episode of the podcast is NYC comedian Jay Welch, to share how he found the funny in his fast food habit and the shame he felt in justifying his choices, turning it into a hilarious bit that we break down in this episode. Jay's insights into joke writing really broke down why it's okay to laugh at our shame -- in this case, food shame. Comics: get out your pens. There's a lot of good joke writing tips in this one. We also talk about: -Why Jay quit doing roasts. -Working local references into a joke. -Using hunter/gatherer skills while living in a city. -Adding funny wrinkles into longer setups. -The psychological edge joking about yourself gives you with an audience. -Racial power dynamics in comedy. -Seasonal jokes. -If eating ice cream in the winter is acceptable. -Being self-conscious about what you eat and finding the humor in the compulsion. -Leaving breadcrumbs so the audience shares the powerful experience of everyone getting the joke at the same time. -Stock lines that get laughs in conversation at parties. -The art of showing instead of telling. -Why some people can’t find the funny in their food shame. -Finding the funny in rationalizing bad habits and lying to ourselves to ease the tension of cognitive dissonance. -The potential consequences of trying a new joke on Twitter.
