Sharm Namdaren and Joseph Green explore the fascinating relationship between language, vulnerability and comedy in this thought-provoking conversation about creative expression.
• Joseph approaches language with deliberate care, similar to how some people experience flavours in food
• The throat chakra relates to communication and can manifest as vocal tension during performances
• Processed anger becomes boundaries while healed vulnerability transforms into humor
• Audiences feel emotionally safe enough to laugh when performers share failures while demonstrating resilience
• Effective comedy requires creating genuine connections through authentic vulnerability rather than merely being clever
• Good performers balance authenticity with audience care, ensuring everyone feels safe enough to engage
• The Instagram note mishap demonstrates how unintentional vulnerability creates perfect comedic moments
• Clowning teaches that audiences laugh when they can see you're okay despite your humiliation
• Starting performances with genuine present-moment feelings creates unique connections with audiences
Try exploring what's vulnerable about something rather than just what's funny – you'll often find they're the same thing!
