Marc sits down with one of his favorite comics, Paul Hooper.  Paul has been seen on Gotham Comedy Live, Boston Comedy Festival and HBO Comedy Festival.  Paul opens up and  discusses his struggles with COVID, his father, school, OCD and addiction.  Paul shows his incredible joke writing process and his use of verbal imagery to emphasize his jokes.  Paul uses his history of insensitive people and the things they say to him as fodder for his self-depreciation bits that is more of a commentary on society than himself.  Enjoy yourself as you listen to this interview from a brilliant comic.  Chapters: COVID'S effect on comedy 3:42Losing Religion 13:25Paul and his Dad 17:25Introduction to Comedy 21:55Troubles in School 25:03Addictions 39:30Joke Writing 51:00Capturing Material 1:05:00The Importance of Words 1:18:00Wrap Up 1:33:00  Visit Marc's website, marcstaud.com Visit Paul's website, paulhoopercomedy.com Download Paul's album, https://www.amazon.com/Tense-Uncomfortable-Paul-Hooper/dp/B00F8XLZ30Listen to Paul go into detail on his addiction here, https://podtail.com/en/podcast/-the-worst-thing-with-maria-heinegg/-rock-bottom-with-paul-hooper/ Please subscribe to the channel for all upcoming content and follow "Get to the Joke" on Instagram @gettothejoke.  You can email Marc personally at [email protected]  For all of Marc's upcoming shows and general information and all "Get to the Joke" videos, please visit marcstaud.com  Follow: Marc's Instagram: @staudcomedy Marc's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marc.stauude...
