Yasine is a professional stand-up comedian in his native language, but he's also now performing shows in English. He regularly performs comedy with Eddie Isard, who is considered by many to be one of the greatest stand-ups of his generation. Yasine has only been really seriously learning English for just over a year. We're going to talk about doing comedy in French versus English, French audiences versus audiences in the UK. Are they different? Is humour universal, or does it change depending on who you're talking to? How is good communication an essential part of comedy? And how do you make a successful joke?
This episode is all about the relationship between language, successful communication, stand-up comedy and learning English! It features an interview with the one-and-only Yacine Belhousse, who is a professional stand-up comedian in his native language and now in English too. A year and a half ago, Yacine hardly spoke any English. Now he regularly performs in English and this year he is doing a 1 hour stand-up comedy show at the Edinburgh fringe festival. How does he do it? How does he deal with the challenges of learning English while also making people laugh in English too? Listen and find out! Click here for more information:
