Dive in and enjoy some absolutely fabulous laughs and learnings with Helen Lederer as we explore three standout themes from the episode: 1. The Comedy Connection: Why Humour Transcends Generations Helen reflects on the magic of connecting with people through humour, regardless of age or background. Having worked with legends like Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, and Rik Mayall, she has seen firsthand how comedy has the power to bring people together in unexpected ways. Helen shares her belief that humour transcends generational divides, emphasising that “funny is funny, no matter when it was made.” We explore her journey from the ’80s comedy scene to working with younger generations, discussing how the universal appeal of comedy has kept her audience laughing through the decades. “When you connect with someone,” she says, “it really doesn’t matter what age they are. The spirit remains, and people still laugh at the sketches we did all those years ago.” It’s a poignant reminder that laughter is indeed a timeless bond. 2. Embracing Authenticity and Owning Mistakes Helen is refreshingly open about the ups and downs of a life in the spotlight. We talk about the challenges that come with being labelled a ‘comedian’ and the pressure to make people laugh, even when nerves creep in. Helen admits to feeling “spooked” by certain gigs and offers insight into the internal struggle many performers face in reconciling nerves with the need to perform. Her perspective on embracing authenticity is both inspiring and empowering. Helen says, “Mistakes are funny. When things go wrong, that’s when the truth comes out.” She reveals that over time, she has learned to accept that not everyone will resonate with her style, but for those who do, the connection is genuine and lasting. In this podcast, she reminds us that embracing our flaws is an essential part of both personal and professional growth—a message as applicable in business as it is in comedy. 3. The Power of Humour in Resilience and Connection We delve into the idea that humour is a vital tool for resilience. Helen talks candidly about how comedy helped her cope with challenges in life and navigate some of the tougher moments in her career. She touches on the influence of her Czech heritage and her father’s experience of displacement, reflecting on how humour has helped her manage inherited feelings of displacement and find a sense of belonging. Laughter, as Helen puts it, has always been her lifeline, grounding her through ups and downs alike. “As long as you have one friend, you can survive anything,” she says, noting that humour often creates that connection. In discussing these themes, we dive into how humour can be a buffer against life’s hardships, reminding us to approach difficulties with a lighter heart. It’s a philosophy that resonates deeply with our mission at Humourology: to celebrate the way humour not only entertains but also uplifts and unites. Hosted on Acast.
