The Backline

Jokes


Listen Later

In the context of improvisation, jokes can mean many things: a punchline, an out-of-place remark, a desperate attempt to get the audience to like you, or a straight up street joke (think Knock, Knock). This week Rob and Adam deconstruct what it means to tell a joke and some of the biases improvisers have towards joke-telling. Also we open up the Backline mailbag!
