Comedy is Translation | Chris Bliss TED Talk
In his TEDxRanier talk, Chris Bliss posits that “Every act of communication is an act of translation.” I have always loved languages and comedy, and I was tickled pink by Chris’ connection between the two. In the talk, Chris shows how great comedy can “translate deep truths for a mass audience”. Enjoy!
