Comedy

Comedians meticulously write and refine their jokes until they seem polished. The reaction awareness comes from reciting the joke dozens of times, similar to when someone describes a story they&#39;ve told often, and their closest friends think &quot;, oh, this one again.&quot; 
Although groups and stories vary, people tend to respond in the same ways in the same places, regardless of who is listening.

Refining and testing jokes

For the comedian, experiencing a new joke that comes to life is an empowering moment. All jokes require the comedian to connect with the audience about the issue. It means finding some universal truth and finding the humour in it, simplifying it and refining it so that it works. The moment the audience laughs is when they realise that their experiences aren't unique - that other people go through the same stuff.

Connecting with the audience

Some comedians resort to strategic methodology to create their jokes, while others employ a more spontaneous technique. Comedians often tend to write on paper in a different voice than when speaking to an audience. Once comedians have trained themselves to live in joke writing mode, jokes are everywhere, easy for the picking. It's the comedians task to make that fruit tasty for the audience.

Strategic and spontaneous technique

Most of the time, when a comedian brings a joke on stage, it'll bomb. While bombing can be a devastating feeling, it doesn't necessarily get easier with experience. However, with time, every comedian develops a way to come back and repair a broken joke.

When a joke bombs

I always grapple with whether or not to tell someone I meet at a party that I perform stand-up comedy when the old, “What do you do?” question inevitably comes up. If I admit it, they’re either…

How It Feels To Write A Joke And Tell It On Stage

"Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind.”

Researchers have theorized that a sense of humor is made up of six basic variables: <ol><li dir = "auto">the cognitive ability to create or understand jokes</li><li dir = "auto">an appreciation, and enjoyment of jokes</li><li dir = "auto">behavior patterns of joking and laughing</li><li dir = "auto">cheerful or humorous temperament,</li><li dir = "auto">a bemused attitude about life</li><li dir = "auto">a strategy of using humor in the face of adversity.&nbsp;</li></ol>A sense of humor, then, can mean either being funny or enjoying funny things.

The Sense Of Humor

Humor can be positive, when it’s not intended to belittle or harm others, or when one laughs at one’s own circumstances. It can also be negative, when it attacks others or when one belittles oneself.&nbsp;Positive humor is associated with self-esteem, optimism, and life satisfaction, and with decreases in depression, anxiety, and stress. Negative humor follows the exact opposite pattern: While it can feel good in the moment, it exacerbates unhappiness.

The Type Of Humor You Consume And Share Matters

Researchers studying humor in the face of tragedy have found that jokes can indeed help people cope with grievances and loss. However, the joke can’t be too close to or too far from the event in time.&nbsp;Tell a joke during a horrific natural disaster and you will be shunned; tell one about the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and most people won’t know what you are talking about. But get it right, and you can provide tremendous relief.

Timing Is Everything

Only 10 to15 percent of laughing is due to anything even remotely humorous. Much of the rest is meant to display emotions such as agreement or simple conviviality.Laughter itself is what brings a lot of humor’s benefits, not necessarily making other people laugh. Laughter also acts as a social lubricant, making interactions easier even when there is no humor involved.

Laughter As A Social Lubricant

<ul><li>Reject grimness.</li><li>Don’t worry about being funny. It’s better to consume humor than to supply it.</li><li>Negative, hurtful, or excessively dark jokes are a corrosive force on your and others’ well-being. This kind of humor tends to be nihilistic as opposed to lighthearted.</li></ul>

The Link Between Happiness and a Sense of Humor

In stand-up comedy, those who are successful deliver the first punchline in the first 15 seconds. The second punchline is delivered in the next 15 seconds. This earns you the right to speak for a longer duration before the next punchline.
When you&#39;re pitching an idea, don&#39;t start with information your audience already knows. Instead, throw in your teaser immediately to make them interested in listening to the rest of your pitch.

Get to the punchline as soon as possible

Don't assume that your audience has prior knowledge. If your audience doesn't understand you, you've lost them. When you're presenting, try not to speak in acronyms and jargon. For example, instead of saying NFTs, say non-fungible tokens. Ensure your audience knows what you mean before you continue.

Don’t make assumptions about your audiences’ knowledge

Think about who your audience is. Would your idea excite them or offend them? People will support your idea if it is useful, interesting, relevant, not offensive. To manage this, pitch your idea first to a mentor or senior manager. If they question something, you may need to reconsider.

Keep culture in mind

If someone in your audience has a question or objection, address it immediately. If you don't adapt quickly, they may start to doubt you or continue to think about their question for the remainder of your presentation. Neither is good. If your manager asks you a question, don't say you'll address it at the end. Instead, answer the question and then get back to your story.

Address your audiences' questions quickly

Use just enough words to get your point across and not one more. When you pitch an idea, keep it short and to the point. It helps to keep the engagement of your audience. It shows that you value their time.

Keep it short

Five tips for your next big presentation.

Pitch Your Next Idea Like a Stand Up Comedian

Over the ten series, the sitcom about a group of 20- and 30-somethings in New York attracted scholarly analysis.
One of the striking things about Friends was the humour that depended on clever conversational devices. The scriptwriters used the unexpected in conversation.

Communication

Pop Culture

The conversational rules for a successful invitation depend on:
<ul>
<li>who we&#39;re asking,</li>
<li>what kind of relationship we have</li>
<li>what&#39;s at stake</li>
<li>how important an acceptance is.</li>
</ul>
The preferred response to a request is acceptance, and the best way to ensure a positive result is to pose a leading question like, &quot;What are you up to this evening?&quot; This helps those we&#39;re talking to avoid having to give negative responses.
Friends&#39; scriptwriters breached these rules, which cause audiences to laugh.

Breaking conversational rules causes laughter

Friends scriptwriters methods for creating laughter make the often hidden conventions of language-use visible. 
In one episode, an invitation is turned down, but without giving an expected reason. Joey asks Phoebe if she&#39;d like to help build furniture. Phoebe opens with a negative reply but then does the surprising. &quot;Ohh! I wish I could, but I don&#39;t want to.&quot; And the audience erupts in laughter.
Creating humour this way, as well as through misunderstandings, can keep us laughing.

Generating the big laughs

Friends has made audiences laugh by breaching what we expect to happen when people speak.
