I could never do stand up comedy, but I would just love to have a venue to tell funny stories. Perhaps one of my favorite tropes in literature is the bard. The bard is the keeper of stories and histories. This tradition is preserved and maintained by telling stories and the like in a way to maintain interest and continue the diffusion of stories through generations. Rather than having the responsibility of preserving history, I like to plant stories that will be retold because they're funny. Comedy is something I try to weave into my story telling and my blog posts. Making someone laugh or even smile is such an easy and small thing to do, so why not do it?
I'll leave you with this--an example of wordplay and humor from the movie Clue. It's shit like this I hope to include in future projects.
Yes, it's based on a board game. And yes, it's still bloody hilarious to this day.
Love,
Hermia
P.S. Normal blog post on Wednesday. Love your faces.
I just watched Clue in it's entirety the other night via Netflix.
