how do you deliver a good joke?

Question

by body movement? the way you speak?..what?

Answer 1

Rehearse it, in front of a mirror, or at least run it through your mind before you tell it. When telling it, don't be afraid to use different voices if the joke contains more than one character. You don't have to do impersonations, but raise the pitch in your voice slightly if it is a woman talking, make it gravely if it is a man, maybe a slight easy accent, southern, Irish, etc. and use your own voice when doing the non-talking parts. Facial expressions help. And don't start laughing when you get to the punch line.
Good luck.
