JasonHello everyone and welcome to American Cafe! My name's Jody.
So, Yang Chen, I have a joke. Do you have a minute?
Okay, did you hear the one about the mushroom who walked into the bar?
Well, a mushroom walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Hey, get out of here. We don't serve your kind."
That's exactly what the mushroom asked. "What do mean you don't serve my kind...I'm a fun guy!" Fun-guy. You know, fungus ... See the mushroom's a fungus. Oh, never mind. It's kind of funny. Yang Chen, are you there? Don't you get it? Fungus...Fungi...
Oh you know what, don't humor me，Yang Chen.
You know maybe I should sign up for my friend's comedy class. You know, polish my act a little.
Yeah, you know polish it up a little.
Oh sure. My friend Jason teaches a stand up comedy class so I went to check it out.
Actually the thing that surprised me the most was how serious the class was. Jason talked a lot about the pain and sorrow in comedy.
I was surprised too. But let's here from Jason as he describes his philosophy of comedy.
Comedy is actually your pain turned into comedy; that is what it is. It's the things that affect you in your life. Unfortunately the things that most people will laugh at are your pain and your sorrow that actually is actually in their life as well in some sort of fashion, maybe a bad mother, a bad father, bad working conditions, something like that, but they can still identify.
I agree. We all laugh at things we can identify with. As a comic Jason is not afraid of sharing the most painful parts of his life. During our interview as we were driving from his stand-up class Jason talked about how he grew up with a heart condition, his open heart surgery and the connection to comedy. |
