    Exploring the World of Stand-Up Comedy with Malcolm Gunn

    Join us on a hilarious journey into the world of stand-up comedy with our guest, Malcolm Gunn, an comedian in Taiwan. Malcolm lays bare his comedic genesis, recounting tales of his early days, his courageous ascension onto the stage for the first time, and how Zoom open mics, a pandemic innovation, served as the perfect stepping stone. Malcolm's influences are as intriguing as his journey, tracing back to the comedy albums of Bill Cosby.We dig into the art and craft of stand-up comedy. From sourcing material to the daunting task of testing new jokes on an audience, Malcolm and I dissect the challenges encountered in this unique line of work. In a light-hearted note, we even debate our distaste for a certain types of comedy and the philosophy that "if it's funny, it's funny." If you've ever pondered about comedic techniques, this is your chance to gain insights 'straight from the horse's mouth.'Beyond the belly laughs, comedy serves as a powerful tool in navigating life's ups and downs. Malcolm attests to this, revealing how humor provided solace during a tumultuous phase in his life. His writing process, comprising voice notes and multiple drafts, offers a glimpse into the meticulous crafting of jokes. We even touch on topics as diverse as superstition, ranting as a form of escapism and, believe it or not, the prospect of starting our own church! This episode promises a delightful blend of humor, companionship, and deep insights into the world of stand-up comedy. Prepare to laugh, reflect and possibly, be inspired.
