Hello! Welcome back to Down The Rabbit Hole. This episode is all about comedy. I start off by examining the evolution of comedy, and understanding how it transformed into the performance art it is today. I ponder these questions: What IS comedy? Is stand-up comedy just about making people laugh? Or is it something more? I explain how intuition is crucial - not just in comedy, but in philosophy and spirituality as well. This episode covers a lot about humor and free-thinking. I hope you learn something from it, or at least laugh a couple times. Thank you for your support!
