Tell jokes in a funny conversational style that sounds like you made it up on the spot.
You’ll learn the art of brevity, word choice, and rhythm in your writing. You’ll learn the structure of a joke and the actual “how” of making something funny. Best of all you’ll leave the class with a 5 minute routine you can go out and perform, post online or on YouTube.
