Had a great time interviewing Jerry Corley. He is known as the Joke Doctor. He breaks down comedy for everyone into something that can be repeated and honed. Great to be able to have structure to go to if you find that a joke is not working. He makes a great point about being a comedian is like playing the guitar, you have to know how it all works. You can’t just play and hope for the magic to occur. You’re much better off, if you know how it all functions, so you can deliver time after time. He also mentions that when he met George Carlin he asked him how he knows what’s going to be funny. Carlin said that he knows if something is going to be funny because all the elements are there to make it funny. Corley has methodically put it all in his book which is available on his website at https://standupcomedyclinic.com
