Course Description

Overview

  • Do you only have an arsenal of three old jokes to work with in conversations, and you can't figure out what to say or when to say it in order to be funny?

  • Did you stop counting how many awkward situations you had to endure at a certain point because you tried to make a joke but absolutely nobody laughed?

Don't worry, there are plenty of people that have just the same issue as you do! Being funny really isn't an easy thing, but this guide "How to Be Funny" will make it so much easier you will start wondering why everyone can't stop laughing around you!

The course covers a total of 9 topics on how to master comedy and become funny to other people. It will teach you everything you need to know, from the most basic stuff to some advanced techniques, as well as tips on how to adapt in the future.

It's a scientifically proven fact that women are much more attracted to men with a good sense of humor - and this goes the other way around, too! That being said, it's crucial to have a good sense of humor in order to be attractive to the opposite sex, as well as be able to create a good atmosphere in any company. Unfortunately, some people don't have an inherently good sense of humor, but, good news is - you can learn how to be funny, and it's really easy! This guide does a great job at this, and in no time you'll find yourself slinging well-placed and funny jokes left and right!

What Makes This Course Different from Others in the Same Category?

Most courses that you can currently find address this problem by either giving you practically pre-made templates on how to make jokes, or just giving you a few examples of jokes that you can do. There is also the other end of this spectrum - there are guides that are completely theoretical, and in which you can get lost for hours without getting any idea on how to implement all that information. This guide finds the optimal ratio of these two aspects, and gives you just enough background knowledge and information, as well as providing you with tips and tricks to make your practical implementations effortless.

Here's What You'll Learn:

  • Why humor is important, as well as when it's appropriate to use it.

  • The importance of taking risks in order to learn what type of humor fits different people and situations.

  • How to study, learn and practice being funny.

  • How to find the optimal moment to be funny, and the optimal moment not to.

  • How to make your signature joke that you will have as a plan B wherever you go.

  • How to balance the edginess of your jokes depending on the people you're with and the current atmosphere.

  • How to combine everything you've previously learned for maximum effectiveness.

Being funny has never been easier - make sure to make the most out of the opportunities that this course will provide, because there will be a lot of them!
