In this video, Michael Yo shares his thoughts on Dave Chappelle's comedy style and the importance of storytelling in comedy. He recounts a conversation with Chappelle where the comedian shared his belief that sometimes silence is more powerful than laughter because it means the audience is truly engaged and listening.
Yo also emphasizes the importance of authenticity and empathy in storytelling, using the example of news anchors who just read the teleprompter versus those who truly care about the stories they're reporting. He notes that different comics have different styles, and while he admires quick-witted joke writers like Mark Norman, he personally enjoys crafting longer stories.
Yo also discusses his admiration for Chappelle's ability to masterfully weave storytelling into his comedy, citing Chappelle's recent special on George Floyd as an example. Yo explains that what he loves about comedy is that you have to actually try out material on stage to know if it's funny, making it a vulnerable and challenging profession.
Overall, Yo's insights provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of stand-up comedy and the art of storytelling.
