Here is a small extract from the book -
You CAN Tell a Joke Well
You may believe you are naturally funny and get an overwhelming response to any joke
that you punch out.
But, many otherwise happy people feel that they can’t tell a joke well or, at least, may
never get the response that they see their more extroverted friends get.
I’m the best example that I can offer to change that view. I’ve got the appearance of an
accountant that’s overdosed on vinegar but I’ve been getting laughs from friends,
colleagues and audiences for years. And I help a wide variety of people in my workshops
to do the same.
Even if you were aiming to be a professional comedian – and that’s not the focus of this
book - there’s no statutory requirement that you must fit a particular - no ‘comedian’
stereotype – your appearance, age, religion, race or gender will not be the deciding
factors in the level of success that you achieve. Just think of the wide variety of people
that are currently putting bread, and probably caviar (if they like fish), on their table by
performing comedy.
Okay, your age might be a problem if you’re too young to get into the venues where
you want to work, or you’re not fit enough for the rigors of travel, performing and
handling the business side of your work – it isn’t all fun!
But even that doesn’t apply if your focus is to just use some jokes on social and
appropriate business occasions.
The single most important factor in successfully making humor part of your social profile
is to use humor that fits Y*O*U - carefully select the best and most appropriate
material for the occasion, the audience and your own personality.
Yes, we all have one - a personality - and it’s much easier and more effective to choose
and use only the jokes which fit us rather than try to change ourselves like a chameleon
to put over each joke that we want to use.
I don’t know what humor is and that question is really not worth pursuing - unless,
perhaps, you can get a large pile of Government grant money for the project. P.G.
Wodehouse, author of the classic Jeeves stories said, “I cannot define humour (he was
British), but I think I know it when I see it.”
Rather than analyze it to death, just concentrate on finding some jokes you think are
funny and appropriate, run through them in your mind and then use them. Like riding a
motorbike or doing a magic trick, telling jokes needs practice in real life situations.
Speak at Normal Pace
Sometimes inexperienced speakers will adopt odd mannerisms when they tell a joke.
More common and just as off-putting is the tendency to speed through the joke –
either because they want to get to the punch-line, or just get the joke over and get
away from being the center of everybody’s attention.
When you realize that:
- The punch-line, however great, will not be very effective unless you give your
friends enough detail and time to appreciate the whole story and
- Your friends and colleagues really want to hear your story and you’ll all enjoy the
experience most if you speak at about your normal pace.
… that’s when you’ll start to get the best response to your jokes.
Laugh at Nerves
If you feel like your throat is tightening up or you get a few butterflies (or even
buffaloes) roaming the pit of your stomach when you try to tell a joke, that same
feeling is probably limiting you speaking up for yourself in other circumstances.
- Asking someone to go out with you
- Talking to the cop that wants to write you a speeding ticket
- Asking the Bank Manager for a Loan
- Asking the Boss for a day off.
So, let’s try and help you in this situation and you’ll probably find those other occasions
a bit less daunting too.
When I started learning to do Magic tricks, I went through almost terminal bouts of the
butterflies. I got over them before I did my first public show. I never got any sympathy
– which is okay. Sympathy is what people offer when they can’t or won’t give any
practical help!
Here are the best tips I can offer you:
Learn your material thoroughly. You stop most of the buffaloes in their tracks if you
have your words and actions, if any, laid out. Then you can just concentrate on making
sure that you and your friends enjoy your story.
Take some deep breaths. Many people don’t use half their lung capacity and force their
bodies to get along with less oxygen that they should. I had this problem when I
started twisting balloons. That changed, after some months of regular exercise.
Realize that you’re with friends and not much happens if the joke bombs. They’re not
going to shoot you and you’ll soon get a chance to show them you can do better.
Jokes and Stories
In most social and business situations, you’ll just use short jokes. That’s easier for you
anyway. Sometimes, you’ll find a story that’s a bit longer but you’re sure it will go well
for you. Don’t throw it away but use it only after you’ve had time to prepare it.
If you have read this far, I am sure you like what you have read so far. For more, you
will have to read the book itself.
