How Does Julio Torres Stand-Up: My Favorite Shapes Work?

Julio Torres uses funny shapes to make his stand-up comedy feel like a game.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks, those colorful cubes and rectangles that stack up high or fall down in a funny pile. Julio does something similar, but with words and ideas, turning them into silly pictures in your mind.

When Julio talks about shapes, he’s really talking about how things fit together. A joke can be like a triangle, it has three parts that all connect. Sometimes, he adds extra pieces to the shape, like putting a square on top of a circle, which makes everything more funny and unexpected.

Julio loves surprises in his jokes. It’s like when you think you’re building a tower with blocks, but then someone adds a dinosaur in the middle, it doesn’t make sense, but that's what makes it hilarious!

He uses these shapes to help you see the funny parts of life, just like how playing with blocks helps you build and create.
