How do comedians actually make people laugh? In this episode, Australian stand-up Monty Franklin breaks down the science of being funny. We unpack the anatomy of a joke β€” setup, misdirection, punchline, and tags β€” plus how to read a room, deal with hecklers, and turn vulnerability into comedy. Whether you’re curious about stand-up or just want to be funnier in everyday life, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what really makes humor work.
