The Value and Impact of Comedy

Comedy is not a zero-sum game; it is a collaborative art where success of one elevates others. The current era is considered a golden age for comedy akin to the music or movie scene in the 70s. Comedy is valued for its ability to create a sense of community, offering a special connection between performers and audience. The live comedy experience is particularly immersive, triggering intense physical and emotional responses compared to watching recordings. Comedy is likened to a 'happy drug', with its ability to deliver endorphins, serotonin, and a unique live performance experience. Platforms like Netflix have played a crucial role in promoting comedy, guiding audiences to live shows for a more enriching experience where the physical presence and interaction with the performers leave a lasting impact on the audience.
