Do you learn, coach, or perform improv and comedy? Then this show is for you. Jen talks about the intersection of comedy and different forms of thinking. How do our brains work when learning and performing improv. Because there are so many different types of brain wiring that affect how we learn and perform together.

Good comedy is neuroinclusive when you're performing or learning it. That means that you create a supportive environment inclusive and accommodating of all cognitive types and abilities to learn, write together, or perform. This includes both neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals, and all the different ways we experience life. Which is… you, since that is every type of human brain!

These episodes are about the many different types of brains that exist in the comedy and improv space. It features the voices of neurotypical and neurodivergent performers, any and all of the variations of brain types we have.

The topics we discuss are relevant to comedy, improv, acting, and performance. We can be better at comedy and acting if we try to understand each other. When we do, we work together more efficiently, learn more effectively, and function on teams with more success. And we're funnier.

These episodes are not for diagnosing people, making excuses for bad behaviour, or a form of therapy. They are for discussing, learning, and being human in your improv or comedy practice!

Hosted by Jen deHaan, an autistic and ADHD comedy performer, improv enthusiast, and writer. Produced by https://StereoForest.com.
