Therapy, Stand-Up, and the Gesture of Writing

Exploring the intersection of therapy and stand-up comedy, the book offers an autoethnographical perspective that highlights how these narratives inform and reflect one another. Through a theoretical lens rooted in Deleuze and Guattari, it delves into new materialisms and affect theory, providing a unique framework to understand the emotional and material dimensions of storytelling. This innovative approach invites readers to reconsider the therapeutic potential of humor and the expressive power of writing.
