Hey y’all, Let’s begin with a simple question: Do you hear an internal monologue? Meghan and I started watching the British comedy Peep Show last night.

Author George Saunders:A bad story is one where you know what the story is and you’re sure of it. And you go there with your intentionality fixed in place. It’s good advice for standup too. You want to surprise ‘em after all. And the best way to do that is to be open to surprising yourself. Funny How: Letters to a Young Comedian is a reader-supported publication.

Cartoonist and teacher Paul Karasik: “Study something you love in depth.”“Here’s the only thing you need to remember from this talk: ‘Study something you love to death’—I mean ‘depth’! [laughter] ‘Study something you love in depth.’ I just gave you an hour, so tonight give me 45 minutes. Spend 45 minutes tonight studying something you love. Watch the first five minutes of your favorite movie 7 times. You will notice new things.”It’s from a lecture about his book How To Read Nancy.
