Enroll now in Adding Humor to your PresentationWhy this course is different to other Humor courses
Most humor courses tell you how to create humor without ever really showing you the results. It’s a bit like learning calculus in high school. You know the theory but can’t quite figure out how to use it!
As a keynote speaker who provides Substance with Humor, I will show you many instances of presentations where I received very strong audience laughter. We will then forensically dissect the laughter and the material that generated it, so you can do similar with your material.
Example:
Below I showcase one of my signature stories – The Mobile Discotheque – which features a chat (ahem) I had with one of Illinois’ Finest! As you can see from the video (this was when I had hair) this powerful true story on Choosing your Attitude generates a lot of laughter.
I will explain the techniques I used to generate the laughter, techniques which you can also use to add humor to your powerful story.
Please remember that this speech was NOT written overnight. Indeed, I continue to add little nuggets, quips to it to further ratchet up the laughter and make sure my audience remembers the message – You can choose your Attitude

The Power of L.A.U.G.H! Huh!
L.A.U.G.H is an acronym for FIVE powerful concepts that will help you write funnier speeches and connect better with your audience.
L – Listen and Record. When you see, hear, do something funny, capture it. You never know when you will use it.
A – Anecdotes. You will appreciate that people laugh more often at anecdotes, quips and comments than jokes.
U – Uncomfortable. Quite often, THE funniest stories are where you or a friend recount something that went wrong. At the time it might have been uncomfortable, but now all you can do is laugh as you recount the story. We’ll find those Uncomfortable Anecdotes and help you craft a relevant message for your speech.
G - Google (on the Bing!) You’ll learn how to search for relevant, humorous material that can enhance your speech and put a smile on their face. We are NOT talking about plagiarism.
H - Hee Hee Hee to Ho Ho Ho. You will learn that the little comment, ad lib or quip that elicited just a little chuckle from your audience quite likely can be polished up to ultimately generate a raucous Ho Ho Ho.
"Conor is a great speaker! Fun and motivating at same time. I loved it."

Telling a POWERFUL Message through Humor
The great French author Victor Hugo wrote "Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face."
Now, that is not exactly correct as Hugo did not speak English. But if I left you with “Le rire est le soleil qui chasse l'hiver du visage humain” (Les Miserables), you probably would not be too impressed. Be it English or French, the logic about humor is irrefutable. Mark Twain said the minute humor “crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place.”
You will learn how you can add wit, humor and zing to a personal story while providing a powerful message or lesson.

How to win Humorous Speech Competition
Here’s something to surprise you and make you wonder does this guy have ANY idea of what he is talking about!
You will learn that If you want to win a Humorous Speech Competition – Toastmasters or other – DON’T try and write a Humorous Speech initially. WTF! (Wow, That’s Funny – for those of you whose mind is in the gutter)
My strong suggestion is to write your speech with your core message, THEN add the humor. It is rare for even the best humor writers to craft a very funny speech with one draft. It takes time. It takes re-working, using many of the tips, tricks and techniques presented in this program on Adding Humor to your Presentation.
"Loved his humor and positive attitude. Wished he could have spoken longer."

Political Humor (Good Luck), Current Affairs, Cultural Icons
Now we're getting to the tricky bits. The great Mark Twain said "Suppose you were an idiot, suppose you were a Congressman, but I repeat myself!"
As you probably appreciate, political humor can be very divisive and most of the time, probably not worth it. It can, however, work very well with a partisan audience. Learn the do’s and don’ts of political humor. Get this wrong and you’ll probably feel as bad as someone who has had a song written about you by Taylor Swift after another breakup! We’ll show you other ways to make fun of / with cultural icons like Taylor Swift, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, (see the editorial balance there), Tom Hanks, Dick Cheney, Prince Harry – In other words, Tom, Dick and Harry!
“Conor has a wonderful way of using humor to deliver an important message. It is rare to find a speaker with those qualities. I didn’t want his presentation to stop.”

Telling a POWERFUL Message through Humor
Humor helps you connect with your audience. Mark Twain - probably the finest humorous speaker ever (and even longer than that!) said “Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations, and resentments flit away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.”
You will learn how to craft a humorous story – WITH a message. Simple concepts like self-deprecation, exaggeration, repetition, understatement, playing to your heritage, repetition, current events, quotations, repetition!! can be utilized to get ‘em laughing and learning.
I will showcase one of my signature stories – The Mobile Discotheque, below – which features a chat (ahem) that I had with one of Illinois’ Finest! As you can see from the video (this was when I had hair) the powerful story on Choosing your Attitude generates a lot of laughter.
