Presentation TIP

Most comedians will agree that humor is an art form. Delivered effectively, it enlivens any speech or presentation. Observational humor is inspired by what you hear or see during your speech and conveyed on the spot. Keep these points in mind when using observational humor in your next presentation.

1) Tension Relief

One of the benefits of comedy is stress relief. A well timed joke distracts the audience from interruptions or nuisances that suddenly emerge.

2) Customization

By creating impromptu jokes, such as quips about the strange weather or the small size of the venue, the speaker makes the audience appreciate the fresh performance.

3) Audience Bonding

Observational humor has a more interactive feel because it comments on real time events. This makes audience members feel more present with the speaker, as well as with each other.
