No Joke: Comedian Hopefuls Study Funny - BTR Pulse [Ep19]

Are all comedians born funny? If not, how do they learn to be? That's the question host Jess Westberg asks on this week's episode of Pulse, as aspiring comedians around the city reveal the perspiration behind the laughs. A former Late Night with Jimmy Fallon writer, Ryan McKee, reveals more about the professional writing process, while a professor at the American Comedy Institute reveals how studying funny can be pretty serious.

Featured song: "Sleepers" by Norse Horse

The city's heartbeat is out there, pumping the Who, What, When, Where and Why that drive the most interesting, newsworthy and often controversial topics we tackle each week on Pulse. We take to the street and give ordinary people a chance to sound off and be heard. From politics and health to privacy and communication, we've got our finger on the Pulse. Wednesdays on the new BreakThru Radio.
