Publisher's Summary

Sure, you might be funny, but looks aren't everything! This guide offers an in-depth look at laughter, humor, and comedy.

Do you want to be more humorous? Have you ever watched someone effortlessly make a group laugh and wished you knew their magic? Well, wonder no more. The mystery of charisma is finally unveiled; the fallacy of "you either have it, or you don't" has been laid bare. Anyone can learn to make people laugh.

Observing a couple of surprisingly simple rules, Make People Laugh is a comedic tour de force, as it explores all the facets of laughter. The lessons and techniques found within this guide will help you write your own jokes, as you learn about the how's and why's of wordplay, slapstick, conversational comedy, and beyond. On the quest for a belly laugh, no grin is too tiny, no joke left behind. Understanding the biological imperative to laugh and social desire will give you a leg up when you try to get them going.

You’ll learn:

  • Timing isn’t an important thing—it’s the only thing; how to practice, improve, and master the perfect time and place for any joke
  • Why jokes work—the universal commonality that almost everything you might laugh at has in common
  • Why more than 50 percent of laughter you hear is not in response to intended humor—how to take advantage of that fact
  • The power of silence and the unspoken joke—physical humor beyond slapstick and props
  • And so much more

Follow the seven easy steps in Make People Laugh today and start making merry tomorrow! With easy, practical lessons and simple, fun homework, you will be the life of the party in no time, or at least capable of consistent comedy. Turn your lazy bones into funny bones, and you will have made the world a better place.

Let’s get started!
