Being funny can have different meanings to different people, depending on whom you ask. Your friends may have a different definition of funny, but in the end, it will be something that will get a pleasant reaction to whoever is listening to the joke. Don't forget that the whole process of being funny is something that is supposed to make people laugh. How to be funny is to learn about yourself, what makes you laugh and possibly find a small group with similar interest and chances are you will have a group of
people who will appreciate your jokes.
Trying too hard to be funny works against you. It sets up a confrontational feel to your delivery. You feel as though you are challenging the audience to laugh. The attitude is that it is important to "make them laugh!" That if you do not succeed that you are not in control and you fail. It sets up an expectation that the laughs MUST come. And you feel a disappointment when your expectations are not met. You tell a joke. You get no laughs. You give the audience the "look of expectation." When delivering humor, do not beg.
It is a clear lesson that we learn on the improv stage. The harder you try to be funny, the less funny you will be. Better to relax and be in the moment. Connect with the others in the room. Let the humor flow from your character, your stories, what you do with your body, how you pause. And the audience will like you more when you are less "in their face" with the humor
Remember one of the key secrets of the good humorist. Less is more. Do not try so hard and your humor will usually flow with a more natural and impactful style.Read more: http://www.clown-ministry.com/index_1.php/site/articles/be_funny_by_not_trying_so_hard/#ixzz1uS1jApY1
