In this laugh-and-learn episode of The Scribe Vibe with Janae, we’re diving into the unexpected but powerful connection between writing and stand-up comedy. From pacing and timing to crafting authentic dialogue, comedy has a lot more in common with storytelling than you might think—and today, we're unpacking it all. Janae shares how comedy techniques sharpened her own writing, breaks down the core overlap between the two crafts, and brings on a special guest who blends both worlds. You’ll learn how to control narrative tempo like a seasoned comic, add punch to your dialogue, and use humor to elevate tension and emotion. Stick around for hands-on exercises, storytelling tips you won’t find in your average writing class, and a preview of Janae’s latest releases—including her audiobook Shadows and Temptations and her new book Blood and Wealth: Beginnings.
