    Episode 16: Jokey Jokes vs. Perspective Jokes

    In this week's bonus episode (made available to all subscribers in Apple podcasts for 2 days before going behind the subscription paywall, also available on Patreon) I discuss "jokey jokes" vs. "perspective jokes." I am personally a P.O.V. comedian, and that tends to be the comedy I enjoy. So what's the difference? The short version is jokey jokes don't have to be rooted in any truth, whereas P.OV. comedians can have jokey jokes, but it's building towards a larger sense of having an opinion or feeling about something. For a deeper dive on this, checkout the episode and Patreon.com

    In this episode I talk about not being able to get my third vaccine shot in Portugal, why I think it's healthy to take breaks in comedy, and the notion of standup comedians being the class clowns.
