À propos de cet audio

Can you be happy and still be funny? Or does comedy need a trauma to work? Happy Not Funny is a weekly podcast hosted by award-winning comedian Michael Malone, who sits down with comedians, writers, actors, and mental health professionals to explore the complicated relationship between humor, happiness, and everything in between. Each episode dives into the stories behind the jokes, whether that be therapy sessions, breakups, grief, reinvention, addiction, joy, or the strange little moments that make us laugh when we should probably be crying. Some conversations are hilarious, some are uncomfortably honest, and most land somewhere in the middle.

If you’ve ever wondered why the people who make us laugh the hardest often carry the heaviest things, this is the podcast for you.

  • 002 - Greg Warren - Wrestling with the Writing Process
    Oct 8 2025

    A deep dive into Greg Warren’s comedy process—discipline, clean sets, crowd work, and the stories behind The Salesman, The Champ, and Farming.

    ______________________

    Comedian Greg Warren breaks down the craft of stand-up comedy, from his iconic “Flute Man” bit to his obsession with Jif peanut butter. He shares how discipline from wrestling shaped his writing process, why frustration and curiosity fuel his best material, and how clean comedy sharpened his voice. The conversation explores joke-writing, bombing, rewriting old premises, crowd work, corporate gigs, and the balance between trauma, frustration, and humor. Greg reflects on his specials The Salesman, The Champ, and Farming, and digs into creativity, discipline, silence on stage, and the future of stand-up.
