Comedian Chris Duffy believes everyone has a sense of humor. And if you think you don’t? That’s just years of adult socialization talking! He shares his roadmap for building a more humor-filled life…
Chris Duffy is a professional comedian, and he thinks the world has got enough of them.
What I really want people to have is humor, which I would say is noticing the strange, odd, delightful absurdity in the world and in yourself, being willing to laugh at yourself, and then, um, connecting with other people.
You might just be the person who's constantly laughing and enjoying other people's jokes, or walking around and seeing the funny thing that a squirrel did and chuckling to yourself.
I think, um, having this life that is light and buoyant and filled with laughter is really what I'm going for when I say humor.
