HOST

Jude Potts

So, the world’s a skip-fire spinning through space, and you want me to laugh about it? Yep, sure do.

Gotta laugh, otherwise you’d cry, right?

Laughter keeps us going through hard times. Humour has a positive impact on our mental health by reducing stress, enhancing mood. It brings people together and it breaks down barriers. That makes it an essential for your writing-as-resistance toolbox.

Your inner clown just might save the world. Let’s find the funny in armageddon and pulverise the patriarchy one punchline at a time.

What we’ll explore:

  • Are there rules for writing funny stuff? And, if so, what are they?
  • How to inject humour into serious topics
  • Balancing humour with storytelling

This event is hosted by ✨Jude Potts✨

Picture of Jude Potts
When she isn’t clowning about, Jude’s a pickled plum (according to the school photographer). Has been using humour as a coping mechanism since primary school. Has funny words published in the Witcraft 24: Because Not Everything Has To Be Serious anthology, Silly Goose Press, Genrepunk and The Hoogly Review Weekly.
