I’ve had a lot of people ask me over the years how to be funny. There’s no one answer that fits everyone but there are some general things you can do:
- Be willing to look silly.
- Don’t take yourself too seriously.
- Read a lot and make connections between things.
- Write jokes about things you find funny.
- Find your own style of being funny.
- Realize that there are people out there looking for your particular version of being funny.
- Be yourself, don’t try to be someone else.
- Share your humor with the world.
Being funny is about being yourself and just saying or writing stuff that you find humorous. The more your material reflects you, the more natural it will feel. If all this doesn’t work you can always wear a sweater made of cabbage.
Cheers,
Guy
