Zen and the Art of Stand-Up Comedy with Akaash Shukla – EP85

November 11, 2021

"The world is too noisy and distracted to probably ultimately survive. Everyone needs to shut the f*ck up. The answers are in silence. Monks set themselves on fire to protest and to make this point. Just consider it."

Akaash Shukla joins this week to discuss the wisdom we've gained from some of our philosophical mentors like Ram Dass, Garry Shandling, and the "inconceivable" guy from Princess Bride. We discuss how venturing into the self and submitting to the process has affected our comedic takes, and how they may play into society as a whole. Also go check out his podcast, "It's Just Another Excuse" and come see us at 2street on Tuesday nights.

Good luck, and let's all cross our fingers in hopes we can make it to next week.
