Dissecting the Frog - Bo Burnham w/ Ryan Vint - Episode 1
Description
A wise man once said “Analysing humour is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies”. Well, we’re here to ignore that entirely as we dive into the nitty gritty nerdy side of comedy, asking why does that work? Why doesn’t that work? And who the hell cares? Join me, Harry Cole, as I invite a guest to examine and scrutinise their favourite comedians work, as well as their own, to find all the blood, guts and major organs inside. Welcome to Dissecting the Frog.
In this episode, I am joined by co-head of The Shambles, York University's premiere improvised comedy troupe, Ryan Vint. Under the surgeons knife is the musical comedy of Bo Burnham, as we discuss his uniquely theatrical comedy, how this translates to his indoor Netflix special 'Inside', and whether musical comedy gets all the credit it deserves.
