Is Being Genuine Really Good in Comedy?
I think it's hard to not be earnest when you're talking about like love and loss. Some comedians find anything that happens on stage where while you're supposed to be doing quote unquote comedy, that is not like outright LOL, 100% of the time to be like pandering almost to be like cheap. But I think actually like candor and sincerity and earnestness can make comedy so much richer when you'retalking about anything, something that matters to you. If you can impress upon the audience how important it is and then hit them with the joke, it lands 10 times heavier in my own experience.
