Are You a Funny Comedian?
Being funny is a serious matter, it’s definitely a skill, and folks who can be funny have learned it just like any other skill.
In order to be funny, you need to relax. Don't take anything too seriously. Develop an eye for what's funny. Comedians make themselves laugh first, and then they share it with the rest of us. The power of observations is essential.
Here are a few ways you can improve your comedy talent and get funnier...
Make Fun Of Yourself - A good comedian MUST be able to make fun of themselves. In fact, you've got to do it faster and better than anybody else can. You've got a big nose? Crack a big nose joke before it has time to leave anybody else's mouth. This might be the most important skill any comedian has.
Reaction Is Key - If you really want to be funny, you've got to know what works and what doesn't. Pay close attention to what makes people laugh and what bombs. This is how comedians improve their acts, and it's also how you can improve your social skills. Comedians say "Get to know your audience," and this is true whether your audience is a group of friends, some people you just met, or a person of the opposite sex who you like.
Find Your Own Style - There are lots of types of comedy. Find out what works best for you. Developing your own style helps people to remember you.
Study Comedy - Every comedian does this. They watch endless hours of other comedian's routines and take notes. See how the masters work a crowd and keep them laughing all the way through their set.
Finally one last tip - Believe in yourself. Thinking that you're funny is the first step to becoming a comedian. Laugh at yourself, and the rest will follow.
