In France, we have a lot of funny words that help us to make some spice on the joke. In English, I just take care about this and the idea. And then I try and I just speak and it's okay. Things are natural. But doing a show in English forces you to be much more rigorous with the choice of words."
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:
