Comedy: making Friends with the Absurd (S16 Episode8)
Everyone knows what the comedy plot line is all about, because unlike the other storylines, we measure the comedy plot line by one metric alone: Does it make us laugh? We know that good comedy is supposed to make us laugh, but why?Well, there is a sophistication to the plot line that goes far beyond jokes and punchlines. You see, the deepest truths of our faith are hiding in something as ordinary as laughter. So, join us this week as we explore the strange and serious wisdom of comedy. At its heart, it is a plot line that dares us to believe that confusion, contradiction, and chaos might still give way to something good.Now, on a personal note, I am digging a little deep into the archives for this one. I want to unearth two little nuggets of fun from Nexus that happened during the dark night of the soul that was Covid lockdowns and online services. These two community moments deserve another hearing and they fit the plot line so well. It should be fun to take a little stroll down Nexus’ memory lane.Listen in for some laughs, some wonder, and maybe a glimpse of what happens when the story we thought was falling apart, turns out to be coming together.
