Answer 1

First of all, BE YOURSELF! There are different kinds of joke tellers, if your not that good yourself, use banter. Play off other peoples funny jokes/comments. You can use their material to your advantage and come off even more funny then they are! Be careful how you use this, people might not like it.

Answer 2

Funny has to come natural. It's all timing, gestures, and shock value. Don't memorize lines,or jokes to much. Pick up short, quick things along the way that make YOU laugh, and remember them. Even embelish on them if you can make it funnier. What ever you do don't force it. Funny doesn't come over night. Often times you either have it or you don't. Good luck Groucho.

Answer 3

i guess u have lines in ur mind but end up thinking too much whether it would be suitable to say or not. just relax and say things that come to ur mind. u might make mistakes here n there but thats the way u will improve right? u cant master a thing unless u take a plunge.

Answer 4

Conan does it because he can read a cue card; but seriously if you want to be funnier try watching more comedy specials go to a joke site or just think of a story that would make laugh

Answer 5

The best way to start is to read a bunch of jokes online, and then recite them in a social setting. This sort of thing will get you in the correct mindset, and you will naturally set up and execute jokes later on.

Answer 6

if you laugh on people and when you get on stage just make sure that you are laughing hard on them and let yourself be free from all the worries that they gonna get you.

Just feel that you are the only person who is free and no one can catch you. Just feel free to laugh on them hard, tell them: you go take shower again, and you , i told you that you are fired long time back. just let it out.

But if nothing works, then smoke weed, and the real talent will come out but dont be addicted to that. ok

Answer 7

Don't rely on lines or jokes... just be happy, light-hearted, and natural. Try to avoid actually putting people down. Being random can make people laugh... but not if they can tell you're trying!

Answer 8

it takes a natural to be funny. people like conan o'brian hav bn doing this sorta thing for yrs so they know how to make people laugh. just being myself around people makes people laugh. people laugh at my clumsiness, they laugh at me being me, they laugh at me eating (i take a bit long to eat wen i get talkative with friends), i sometimes act clueless around my friends.. and other little things. last week, i was asked to hang out with my best friend and one of her friends, and given the time and place. i get a call off the friend saying to me where they were, but i acted like i could see them anywhere. i would look all over in search of them, but couldnt see them. it took literally over ten minutes just to find them, and wen i got to them they said they were right there in front of me that they dont know y i couldnt see them, and cracked up laughing. okay, okay, i couldnt really see them. i was trying to, but that's what got them to laugh even more, and i would constantly look over and the other direction. it was only when i saw the girl waving her arms around that i saw them.

Answer 9
