In this episode, we're diving deep into the craft of comedy writing. Today's episode, "Hope I'm Funny: The Hidden Secrets of Comedy Writing," explores the intricate art of making people laugh through storytelling.
We'll break down the holiday film "Red One," starring Chris Evans and The Rock, which cleverly blends Santa myths with humor and action. We’ll discuss the iterative process of writing comedy, from character development to the essential rewrites that refine the humor.
You'll also learn about historical comedy greats like Bill Murray, Tim Allen, and Jerry Seinfeld. You'll also explore how different tones can turn similar premises into serious dramas or laugh-out-loud comedies.
