Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with comedian Tig Notaro to discuss the science behind her comedy. During our conversation, she shared with us the process of how she builds jokes and gave us insight into her comedic genius. We were also treated to a variety of dumb and fabulous jokes that had us laughing out loud.
In this episode of our Funniest Joke in the World series, we interviewed Tig and dived into the world of comedy with her. We discussed the possibility of becoming a comedian ourselves and learned about Tig’s methods for creating jokes. She also emphasized the importance of surprise in comedy and shared some of her favorite jokes with us.
