Are you really interested in becoming a great comedian? Remember that a good joke consists of three things - the audience, the timing, and the comedian. There are some good ideas here to accomplish this.

Steps

1. 1 Choose the right time for the joke. There are times when you should or shouldn't tell a joke in order for it to be good. Or when people are not ready to joke.
2. 2 Dress up like a funny comedian. Your outfit reflects your personality, try to always wear funny T-shirts. You can find them in ordinary places like Bershka or others, but try to avoid stylish places like Massimo Dutti or Zara. If you can't afford things like Bershka, buy funny tees and pants where you can afford it.
3. 3 Share a joke that people can relate to. But you should add humor and strive to do it in a way that the joke sounds in the appropriate tone.
4. 4 Don't repeat the same topic, after a while you will exhaust yourself and people may be alarmed by another subject, so always try to change topics to keep people's attention.
5. 5 When you tell a joke, do it in a funny manner, such as with a unique voice.
6. 6 If people don't like your jokes, make a joke about it. This will not only lift your spirits, but also make a gold mine of a joke out of it.
7. 7 Be this guy. If you are a musician, play your ringtone on the piano and they will throw the eggs they bought at you.
8. 8 If you want to be fun, start talking about yourself, make fun of yourself or what you've been doing lately. People will think of you as a great comedian, and you will make them laugh.

Tips

• Remember to walk around the stage. You don't want it to seem like you are worried while standing in one place. It's also a good way to reach your entire audience, otherwise they will think you are not talking to them.
• Practice telling jokes to other people and watch their reactions. Conduct a psychological survey about how interesting your jokes were.
• Watch videos of some of the comedians and determine what comic style you want to perform.
• Body language and timing
• Reach out to every person
• Don't make the audience the subject of your jokes. Tell us something embarrassing about yourself. But if someone in the audience wants to say something, try to give them a microphone.
• Refer to watching or listening to performances of other comedians. This will give you an idea of ​​technique, facial expressions, timing, and other things that comedians use.
• Try not to laugh a lot at your jokes. But it will not be superfluous to mock and laugh.
• Choose the type of humor you want. Check out comedians who specialize in this type. For example, Lewis Black tells political jokes. (Note that you must keep up with the genre of jokes you choose.)
• Racial humor may be appropriate in moderation depending on the audience. While humor over minorities is taboo, jokes with white people are unfortunately considered acceptable. Be aware of these double standards and be careful!
• Look at classic comedians like Bernie Mac (RIP) Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, D.L. Hagley, and some of today's good humorists like Robin Williams or Jim Carrey.
• Learn from comedians you won't see often on TV. Carlos Mensia, Larry the Cable Guy, etc. achieved status due to light humor, which lacks intelligence. Don't follow this rubbish. Take a look at Ben Bailey, Hannibal Buress, Dmitry Martin and Lewis Black. There are comedians who don't have to resort to stereotypes, farting, and vulgarity to be funny. The key is intelligence.
• Also look out for comedians like D.L. Hagley. Don't rely on just one kind of comedy, cultural and racial, as this makes your humor accessible only to a narrow circle of like-minded people and sometimes gives a "racially exclusive" impression. D.L. Hagley is a good example: many people find his humor accessible to everyone, not like many black comedians. A real comedian will make everyone laugh, both blacks and whites, without using such comedic tricks as racial humor.
• If you have a fear of the audience, try to imagine that they are all wearing lingerie or something like that to get rid of your fear.
• Dress in such a way that when you go on stage, you don’t have to do anything else to make the audience laugh.

Warnings

• Remember what Moliere said: "The goal is to make people laugh, if I didn't, then I didn't get my message across to the audience."
• Try not to make fun of specific people so as not to offend them.
• Try not to copy jokes from other comedians. Try to browse the BBC news and make a joke out of it.
• Try not to use overly offensive jokes, such as racist ones. A little lighthearted argument is good, but know where the line is and don't cross it. Sometimes you can make such jokes, but if only you yourself belong to this religion or race, and you must first explain what exactly you wanted to say with this joke. Remember that if you say this to yourself, then people will not take it seriously, especially if they understand everything.
• Avoid jokes that take a long time to explain or those that contain unfamiliar facts.
• Never try to make you laugh by making fun of someone. It doesn't mean being a comedian.
