This episode discusses the use of humour as a theory of change with our guest Christian Obi, popularly known as Igbo Wolf. Humour has been used throughout history as a tool for subversive communication, such as the court jester who was the only person allowed to make fun of people in power. Christian, a comedian, shares how he used humour as a coping mechanism for his social awkwardness and anxiety. He found that watching comedies repeatedly helped him deal with his anxiety, and eventually, he started creating his own content to help him cope. After his content gained popularity, he struggled with the idea of continuing to create content that originated from his mental struggles. However, he realized that humour can be used to raise awareness of mental health and to help others who may be going through similar struggles. Candidly, we see that humour can be a powerful tool for change and can be used to address social and political issues.
