The thing is, comedy's gone in a weird direction. People are really into ironic comedy and fakeness and cleverness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing about comedy is it gives you a platform to expose your own shortcomings, so it becomes a public display of weirdness.
Comedy tends to come out of things which are quite painful and serious.
People, when they talk or write about comedy, they don't really get it.
Comedy is a very personal thing, and some people will find it funny, some people won't.
Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It's a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you; it's a way to survive and get closer to the truth.
Now the point of comedy is not just looking funny, it's use of language. We have at our disposal a great language... and the imaginative, creative use of that language can be at the service of humour.
To me, comedy is just twisting reality. It's commenting or observing or twisting life.
Comedy is not something that a person can fake or learn how to do.
Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.
Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
