Winter Piffle sketch comedy show dance animation

This companion animation features characters from the show and was shown during the intermissions of the Dec 2024 Winter Piffle sketch shows.

The secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow.

A comedian is simply an actor who refuses to take himself seriously

If the premise is clear, the jokes will come.

Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.

Sketch comedy is about taking one idea and heightening it relentlessly.

Comedy is surprises, so if you’re intending to make somebody laugh and they don’t laugh, that’s funny.

The first beat explains it, the second beat explores it, the third beat breaks it.

The job of the comedian is to know which line to cross.
