When a joke hits right, the connection between the storyteller and the audience increases exponentially.
You probably didn’t need convincing of that.
What you may need convincing of is that though when a joke falls flat, you may get questionable looks or a headshake or deadpan silence, it’s only temporary.
If there’s one thing people move quickly on from it’s humor.
Which is to say they move on even from good humor.
(Can you recall any of the jokes from the last stand up show opener that you laughed hard at?)
All the more reason that humor needs to be shot after shot to be effective.
Stay Positive & Huh Huh
