Episode #13: Steve Whiteley On Getting Laughs and being a Buddhist Comic


Listen Later

Steve Whiteley is a writer, director, producer & comedian whom the British Comedy Guide recently called 'One of the pioneers in the new wave of online comedy.'

Betsy & Steve talk about the role of discomfort in comedy & our ability as those in the audience to sit with discomfort, the benefit of mindfulness on creativity & how ego gets in the way. Steve talks about being a beginner with each new project - from his first standup shows to directing a tv pilot - & how his Buddhist practice centres him.
