Comedy Tip #2

Posted in: comtip at about 8am

If you tell a sweet joke that gets a good reaction, but after a few moments the hoopla starts to die down, to pump everyone back up explain why the joke was/is funny. When you begin to explain the joke, start by saying, “Get it? It’s funny because…” and proceed to tell everyone why it was funny. This always works super well!

This tip can be reduced to a simple rule of thumb: explaining a joke will only make it better.
