Description

Sometimes, the source of creativity can be a place that hurts. And one of the places where pain and creativity intersect most potently is in the art of stand-up comedy. In this episode, Michel is joined by Josh Johnson, stand-up comedian, Emmy-nominated writer (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon), performer, and NAACP award-winner from Louisiana, for a conversation about how to turn pain into creative output. Featuring music and ideas from KOOZA, a classic Cirque du Soleil show featuring a trio of in-your-face, boundary-pushing clowns.
