"If you ain’t funny, you better get funny!" Workshop & Standup Show

"If you ain’t funny, you better get funny!" Workshop

Humour is one of the greatest assets a speaker can have, and most professional speakers will tell you “if you ain’t funny, you better get funny”. But if you ain’t funny, don’t worry, because the ability to make an audience laugh is a learnt skill.

On Friday 26 June, We have a session from professional stand-up Daphna Baram then David Jones will present workshops on how to use humour in your public speaking. David performs stand-up comedy and runs stand-up comedy courses, and is the five-time UK & Ireland Table Topics champion. He was my workshop leader in 2011 and through me out on the circuit "at least 20" he told me! I've done more then 77 now.

Come and learn from London’s most experienced Toastmasters.

After the workshops there will be a comedy show, starring Toastmasters who have been performing stand-up on the London circuit.

Chris Boden and I will be the MCs for the show. The running order (there will be no break in the show):
