Humor Writing Tip

And it's the Saturday edition of Finding the Funny, which means I'll be giving you a tip to find the funny yourself! I've written for everyone from the Tonight Show to radio, syndicated cartoon strips, CEO's, companies like wart removal cream makers, and even guests on the Jerry Springer show (my parents are proud). I now travel the country showing organizations how to use humor in business.

So here's your 60 second tip. Last week I talked about asking question to come up with humor. And I'll share with you one of the biggest questions I ask. I look at something as if it's a problem and ask the question "How would I solve this if I could solve it any way I want?" Then I come up with funny answers. Try it. Look at situations and ask How would I solve this if I could solve it any way I want. Listen to other comedians, and you'll hear them asking this question too. And listen to tomorrows joke and see how I creatively got my nephew to stop crying by asking this question. By the way, it's a joke! I didn't really do it!

If you want more tips on coming up with humor in your communications, then check out my book on Amazon – Finding the Funny Fast. It's how to create quick humor to connect with clients, coworkers and crowds.

That's it for today. Take care and enjoy your journey.
