Many decades ago, the art of comedy and stagecraft was wrongly misunderstood as one for dim wits or less intelligent people, however, Clemento Suarez says that era is long gone.
Addressing this misconception, Clemento Suarez, who has become a household name in the country says, the craft is actually for those with sharp minds and wits.
Speaking in an interview on Happy FM, he said: “The time for saying stupid things for people to laugh is in the past. To do comedy now, you have to be intelligent, smart and have a serious ability to improvise”.
He said: “After being accepted, even your appearance makes the audience laugh. You can even say humorless jokes but they will still laugh because of their experience with you and an image being played in their minds whenever you mount the stage”.
When asked if the art of comedy can be learnt, Clemento explained that the art is inherent and can only be fine-tuned but never taught.
