Why 'Funny Bones'?

This guide focuses on the core components – the 'bones' – of great physical comedy. It emphasizes understanding the 'why' behind the laughter, enabling you to create authentic, effective comedy rooted in shared human experience, rather than just mimicking routines.

Excerpt: The Power of Empathy in Comedy

"One reason this universal quality exists is because physical humor activates our innate sense of empathy. When someone on stage trips over their own feet or struggles with a too-tall ladder, we instinctively relate—we’ve all been there. The gap between our usual desire to appear competent and our actual moment of clumsy mishap triggers our sympathy and our laughter. This laughter unites people."

Excerpt: Finding the Comedy

"Physical comedy often lies in the unexpected, the exaggeration of the mundane, or the relatable struggle against everyday objects or situations. By observing human behavior and understanding the foundations of movement and expression, you can learn to spot and amplify the comedic potential inherent in physicality."
