He's performed in festivals all over the country and he's not in Al Qaeda: comedian and cohost of the Mango Bae podcast Pranav Behari joins us to prove that you CAN laugh at Indian stereotypes, even if the stereotype is misplaced, misinformed, or lazy.
In this episode, we talk about:
-Why nothing is funny on Twitter.
-Tragedy + time = comedy: what are the variables that make laughing at the negative okay?
-Pranav’s start in comedy.
-Being present while delivering a joke for the 9000th time.
-Remembering that comedy is a job.
-The illusion of having fun being drunk onstage.
-The sweeping racial generalizations Pranav has experienced, including his experience with a white supremacist.
-The progression of words in historical spelling bees.
-Pranav’s bit on Indians and spelling bees.
-When an audience wears "comedy Kevlar."
-Making authentic connections across barriers.
-When trying to make a connection goes too far.
-Twitter running things into the ground.
-Why don’t we see a ton of conservative comics?
-And more!
