Ep26 James G Warren (Comedian, comedy in Tasmania, winning class clowns, Melbourne scene, comedy philosophy)
Manage episode 335005666 series 3286491
James G Warren (the G stands for Good At Comedy) moved to Melbourne 5 years ago from Tasmania, where he had already been a member of the comedy scene in Hobart since he won Class Clowns in 2013. We talk about how he started in Tassie as the young guy, still a teenager, growing out of that identity and finally growing out of the Hobart scene and moving to Melbourne.
We discuss being on the spectrum, self-discipline, navigating the social side of comedy, dry vs high energy comedy, the release of shame for both the comedian and the audience in truth comedy.
It’s a deep discussion. We go into what holds us back and how to overcome these fears and patterns. James runs two comedy rooms in Melbourne – Red Betty and Smiling Politely. He tells us what it’s like to run rooms, being part of the web of the Melbourne comedy scene, managing the room and working with other comedians. We also talk about his sketch comedy collaboration with Aarti Vincent and Krutika Harale in The Amazing Cannonball Flower. It’s deep, it’s long and it’s worth it!
