This 500-word satire reveals how stand-up comedy lessons can improve everyday awkward encounters, like family dinners and elevator silences. Features a fictional TED Talk titled �Surviving Humanity with Five-Minute Bits and a Backup Mic.� A fake neuroscientist explains laughter triggers the same brain chemicals as remembering your Wi-Fi password. Includes anecdotes from a stand-up comic who bombs in a Zoom meeting by opening with, �So what�s the deal with spreadsheets?� Ends with this note: �Every life crisis is just a set-up waiting for the punchline�you just need better lighting.� HOW TO WRITE COMEDY: https://comedywriter.info/learning-from-stand-up/ AND http://comedywriter.info/
