Stand Up Comedy with Tourette's with Benny Feldman

Stand Up Comedy with Tourette's with Benny Feldman

Benny Feldman is one of the funniest new comics working today. He also has Tourette Syndrome, a neurological condition characterized by involuntary vocalizations and tics. Not only does this give Benny a unique rhythm to his performances, it also has helped him develop a fascinating personal understanding of how humor even works. This week, Adam talks with Benny about Tourette’s, comedy, and the power that comes with understanding yourself.
