You may have heard that it’s a good thing to add humour to a presentation, or you desperately want to be funny as a Comedian, but what do you do if you are “not a naturally funny person”?
Here’s how you can be as funny as a comedian…
If you are one of those people that thinks “I’m just not funny”, I have some good news – EVERYONE can be funny!
Unlike an astronaut or a doctor or anything else where you need qualifications, there is no diploma, no job, no degree that you need first in order to be funny!
And I think that’s where a lot of people struggle with the concept of humour – if you have teaching degree then you are a teacher, or if you have a business then you are a business owner, but there is nothing you can actually get to prove that you are funny.
On the flip side of that argument, there is nothing you can get to say that you aren’t funny either – so lets just use that to our advantage!
Now please be upstanding and place your right hand on your chest…
“I hereby declare, by the order vested in me, (of no actual authority or significance) if you have ever, ever, ever, ever in your life made someone laugh – including yourself then…
Congratulations – you are funny!”
There we go… how easy was that?
Now we have that settled, I don’t want to hear any of that “I’m just not a funny person” crap anymore. The fact is that anyone can be funny, including you! You just have to step up to the plate and claim the title.
I realise that this may seem a bit too simplistic, or silly and unnecessary, however, it’s really important to realise that the difference between being funny and not being funny is really only a mindset shift. Yes, believe me, it can be that simple!
