The Nature of Comedy and Trusting the Process
Comedy is an uncertain process where it's hard to know if you're doing it right because every joke and comedy story is an experiment. Trusting oneself is crucial in comedy writing, which requires clearing the mind, allowing thoughts to flow naturally. It's compared to creating music where the final result can be assessed, unlike comedy where uncertainty prevails. Trusting the creative process and being comfortable in one's skin are essential elements in comedy writing, where experimentation and self-confidence play a significant role.
