The beginnings and passion
When did you think about taking the road to comedy? Was it a casual or passionate choice?
Condotta: Being a comedian is my dream since I was a kid. I think everyone has a mission: mine is to try to make people laugh. When I can, I'm happy.
How important was comedy in your path and what space does it occupy compared to work?
Condotta: I don't do a professional comedian: I work in the field of telephone systems. Comicity is a hobby and a passion that I hope to cultivate for a long time.
How do your comic videos come about youtube?
Condotta: I am inspired in part by personal experiences and partly by what I observe on the street, at work and in everyday situations. I try to grasp the comic side of what happens.
“I have a job (I take care of telephone systems) and that of comics is a “hobby”, a passion, that I hope to continue for so much, a lot of time again”
What themes are more to your heart and would you like to tell in your comic videos?
Condotta: Everything can become a video. I have no privileged themes, but I look for topics that represent everyday life.
The public and the language of comedy
What are the qualities that must have a comedian?
Condotta: One. Humility. With that you can achieve great goals.
The Pirandellian theatre is based on the poetics of humor; it (the poetics of humor) has made a distinction between person/personal character (mask), stating that the character is the mask that recites the part dictated by society and that produces the verosimile. Your theatre (ironically we call it the theatre of the Carthonian theatre), even in the cinema, is combined with the poetics of the humor of the Pirandellian theatre?
Condotta: In part. I believe that one of my qualities is the same person, the same Daniele, both on cameras and on cameras off, and this makes everything genuine and unbuilt.
“It’s clear that I’m still pointing to topics that can represent daily life splits”
What are the artists you've inspired to become a good comedian?
Condotta: Fabio De Luigi and Alessandro Siani are two comedians that I was so inspired by. But the important thing is to create one's own character, one's own artistic personality to avoid being a "clone", something already seen in the eyes of people
What is the soundtrack of your professional personal journey?
Condotta: DO NOT MOLLAR BETWEEN (Gigi D’alessio)
The present and the projects
Who would you like to thank for your professional personal journey? What will your future projects be?
Condotta: I want to thank my family for believing in me that I have always supported me, sending a bark to my father. who follows me from up there and I know that he is very pleased with me, and I want to thank all those who have worked only 1 minute with me. You never win on your own, but thanks to teamwork.
