COMEDY = PAIN. COMEDY = PAIN RELIEF TOO
| Posted on September 2, 2013 at 1:43 PM |
Let's
face it, it's a painful art form...mostly, and thankfully. Why do I
say that? On account of pain being a comedian's opportunity, whether
it's yours or theirs. Ever
ask yourself why you pursue stand up comedy? You should. Know
your need to succeed....and to heal. Simply put, the more healthy you
are the more you will look objectively at your material and dig in
to the genuine funny images of pain, as well as the relief there of. So dig into yourself as well when you're mulling over your hastily scribbled twisted rants. Comedy
is all about pain and for the most part, getting through it.. coming
out on the other side with a laugh or some expression of relief. I'm
thinking that's why comedy was invented....to exorcise a small amount
of pain through each gasp of laughter....a very essential human
reaction. As
a comedian you should keep in mind that you are surrounded by people
that have experienced all sorts of pain...your audience. Do you really want to inflect more? As
a live performer you are enveloped by people that have dealt with or
are currently dealing with disease, war, poverty, confusion,
addictions, heartbreak, and even death. Look at it this way, their mere presence at your
show is a plea for help, as is much entertainment in a way....and strictly due to the personal nature of stand up comedy I think it's not only an
escape type help.. there may be answers they're looking for. After
all, you're a human being in close proximity to them and one that
represents more than they are. Did you know that? Because of that the
audience's desire for a laughter remedy may include some needs for
inspiration as well? That's not too much to ask of you...you are
after all an artist. ;) To
watch a comic talent on stage that skillfully works through pain in
his material then comes through it with humor is more than just a
show sometimes...it's a live human art form event that often merits
more respect than it gets I'll tell you that. Perhaps
that's the lot in life of comedians, a secret to never be fully
appreciated for the discomfort and distress we relieve. If we do our
part correctly we never bring more pain, we absorb some of it,
relieve it, perhaps inspire some to use humor to get through it. I
think that's a good thing. Comics are fighting a trench war against
life's agony in the most natural way possible, one joke at a
time....and it all boils down to a prescription of laughter. We could be doing worse. I'm good with it. |
