Are you funny? Most of us are funny and that's a really good thing because laughter will make you look younger and stay more healthy. If you're funny then continue to be funny and don't give that up because it can spice everything up in your life. I know everyone appreciate a funny person. The wealthiest entertainers in the world are comedians like Adam Sandler and Jay Leno. Yes! People love comedy. You can learn a few tricks to be more funny; especially if you're a public speaker, humor can make you a better speaker.

The first step in learning how to be funny is allowing your natural funny bone to come out. Go ahead and be funny whenever you feel like it. No one will have a problem with your humor. People likes funny people. If you're making a public presentation, you can learn a few clean jokes and incorporate that into your speech to make your speech more interesting. People will start paying attention once you get them to laugh. People can fall asleep during a very dry and boring speech. People don't like to be bored to death. Your body language is also important during your speech, and you should try to make your body language a little funny to entertain your audience. You don't have to go overboard because you still need to look professional. A big smile or laugh will help along the way. Don't frown during your entire speech. If your speech has some high points and if you can help translate those high points with your body language then you should to make it more funny. A humorous speaker is thought to be positive, and approachable. This is great especially if you're trying to make a business deal you would want your customers to feel comfortable to approach you. You don't want to intimidate your customers in any single way as they can bring you good business. Your humor can encourage more people to approach you. Being open and positive are good skills for a business person.

You can incorporate your humor into any speech, whether it be at work, school, or public places. You will be remembered and respected more if you can get your audience to laugh. One of the skills is to incorporate a clean joke now and then. You must memorize the joke before hand so that it doesn't sound awkward. If you're at an informal event or just hanging out with friends then you can use more informal jokes. One of the way to be funny is impersonation. You can impersonate funny people that you know about. You can try impersonating Bill Clinton, Steve Urcle, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and any body else that you think is funny. You can try speaking with an English accent like the people from England. Do you know how funny this can be? Another funny skill is to do funny moves like pole dancing if you're a man, dirty dancing if you're a man. It's hilarious to see a professional man in formal wear and do a little dirty dancing. I've seen comedians do this all the time. Wane Brady make gassy sounds to entertain his audience with his mouth. I don't know why but whenever you start talking about gassy sound people will laugh.
