5 tips to make people laugh
Concentrating on a talk can be difficult, and humor is a fantastic way to engage your audience. The laugh overrides the defenses of others, and suddenly you find yourself with an opportunity to communicate with them
Tips from Tom Rielly:
- Tell anecdotes that relate to the topic, where humor comes naturally.
- Have a funny comment handy in case you screw up. The audience has also been through similar situations and you will gain instant sympathy.
- Include humor in the visual elements.
- Use satire.
- If you are not a funny person, don't try to be. Try it with people you know and see if it works.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
