I really do not watch stand up comedy, because I never get the jokes or I just don't understand them, because my knowledge of current affairs and politics is not as good as it should be. However, some night I had to stay up late and I had the TV running and I caught a show called "Puppet Up", which is a comedy show featuring puppet artists who are given a subject and then they have to spontaneously come up with something funny for a couple of minutes. I watched the first episode and I immediately fell in love with it. Here is an example of it:
The thing I liked about it is that nothing can be prepared and therefore they artists come up with simple things that everyone would come up with if you can't give something like that too much thought. I admit that when I watch TV, then it's when I find time in my busy schedule when I can just relax and not use my brain too much. I use those moments to just detach from the world and the current affairs that bother me every day and I just want to laugh, cry, be scared, or just watch in an easy way. Puppet Up makes me laugh without needing me to think too much and it's not just someone standing on the stage, it's even funny to watch the puppets and how the people "underneath" them act
