I'm so curious about you as someone who has studied laughter and then attempted to do comedy yourself in clown school. I am always encouraging people to do comedy. Give it a try. There's an open mic in your city. Go and just try. And you'll find it interesting. You'll find, you know, it's a little frightening. But if you bomb, you'll learn, oh, that didn't kill me. It feels like shit feels real bad to bomb. But you'll know what that feels like. And you will have the experience of doing it.
