The Fundamentals of Stand-Up Comedy, Lesson block 1-4:

Introduction: these Lessons 1-4 of my 35 lessons get you off on the right foot.
Both beginning stand-up comics looking for a leg up and seasoned professional comics wanting to get-back-to-basics: begin at the beginning. . . . more info.
1) How to Tell a Joke on a Stand-Up Comedy Stage, During a Speech and in the Work Place, 3 hours
•Nuts and bolts of all joke-telling.
•Jokes, effectively delivered, go a long way to reduce tensions and further communications between a stand-up comic and his audience.
•The same principle applies off-stage to effective interactions at any business between the management, staff and clients.
Or any relationship between friends and family members, teacher and student, player and coach, etc. ...more info.

2) How to Write a Joke: the 7 basic joke forms, 3 hours
•Workshop contains a system for writing jokes that works for you every day.
•Learn the seven basic joke forms. ...more info.

3) Narrative Character: your persona, 3 hours
•How to naturally exploit your humorous side. ...more info.

4) Editing Your Comedy or Serious Speech into an Act, 3 hours
Both the serious and funny parts of your speech need to be tightly edited, just like a top-flight stand-up comedy routine:
•Ordering bits within your comedy act or speech for greater audience response: get bigger laughs and longer applause!
•Number and quality of laughs you need in stand-up comedy vs. in a keynote speech.
•The different standards between starting out with your "little league" local comedy club scene and clearly understanding the very different goals required by "major league" national TV shows.
•Polishing: punch it up, or edit it out! ...more info.
