She’s gotten Brooklyn to make some noise — and plenty of laughter. Now, the Park Slope comedian Claire Berger is here to make you think, and perhaps to inspire your next career moveshedding light on topics running the gamut from humor as a coping strategy to interpersonal connections and finding fulfillment.“My work in comedy grew from a need to have some control over my career,” she said. “As an actor, you are at the whim of casting directors who may or may not hire you.
Thus, the rabbit hole of research, countless discussions with other people and “ruthless” self-reflection commenced, and her book began to take shape. Berger ultimately settled on 22 topics including family, education, success and food, each relating to our quest for “enough,” rounded out with thought-provoking questions and self-reflection exercises.
“To gain the confidence of thinking on your feet, working as a team and subscribing to the ‘Yes, and …’ improv rule will greatly enhance your life, personally and professionally,” she said. Maintaining this mental framework will also help you from getting stuck at work. “Career pivots are not only possible, they are probable, so stay open and receptive to change,” said Berger, mentioning that she’s held close to 100 jobs in her career and that many of them informed her book’s musings.
Over the years, Berger has also learned firsthand “the importance of creating your own opportunities,” having worked as a “humor consultant” for businesses in search of new ways to have fun while getting the job done. She’s created productive humor for everyone from matrimonial attorneys to medical professionals, luxury hoteliers and even Nevada coal miners.
