You might’ve experienced these before: - Laughing over a comedy series - Crying when the lead in your novel dies - Getting angry when the movie villain gets what he wanted - Feeling mindblown when the plot twist is unexpected Why? We can’t help but to connect ourselves to stories. When it’s packed with emotions, we feel them too ⚡ And we’re likely to remember the stories better. Emotions drive thoughts, actions, and connections. So if you’re looking to build an audience with content, connect with them through emotions. Storytelling can help you achieve that :) What’s your favourite story you’ve read/watched? Would love to hear your thoughts! #emotions #contentcreation #storytelling

2 years ago, I didn’t know anything about comedy. Today, I am performing at my first stand-up show 🎤 Here are 5 unforgettable lessons I’ve learned about comedy writing: 1️⃣ Get to the joke quickly: Most of my joke "writing" was actually joke editing. Remove the extra words and context to the punchline early. Get your first laugh quickly! 2️⃣ Get the crowd on your side: People will create judgments of you on-stage. Lighten the mood by joking about your clothing or vibe. The audience can get behind someone who doesn't take themselves that seriously. 3️⃣ Practice, practice, practice: One specific practice - say your jokes aloud like you're talking to a friend. Let them interrupt and ask questions. You'll get a sense of how to speak more casually and what the audience will be naturally curious about. 4️⃣ Write everyday: Observational comedy comes from experience, write what you notice down! When you're used to writing everyday, it gets easier to log your jokes in one place. 5️⃣ Get time under tension: You won't improve your stage presence without a stage. Find local open mics, take a comedy writing class (even if you have jokes ready!) to get feedback, and get more stage time. It's a way to train your nervous system to handle the nerves so you feel more comfortable putting yourself out there. Tell me below, would you ever take a comedy class? 🎭 #Goals #PublicSpeaking #StageFright #StandUpComedy

So after what seems like a lifetime in the wilderness, humour is seemingly back on the menu for 2024.* To anyone who wants to write funny ads - or anything funny - check out this course by Brent Forrester (The Simpsons, The Larry Sanders Show, The Office). While the course is designed to help aspiring comedy writers create their own sitcom from concept to first rewrite, its principles work whether you’re writing a 30-minute episode or a 30-second spot. I took the course a year-or-so ago and it was awesome. Since then I've completed a new spec script as well as vastly improved an existing one that has gained interest from folks working with the BBC and Channel 4. Beyond that, it gave me a much better understanding of what actually makes stuff funny. Brent is super charismatic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and I think the 6-week course is something ridiculously cheap like £90, so well worth a look. It's also a lot of fun. Sadly I’m not on commission, just a fan of comedy. Hopefully, together, we can bring it back to advertising. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/ea5ijhve In the meantime, if your scripts are seriously lacking in LOLs, I'm here to help from Monday. #comedy #comeback #humour #advertising #marketing *Kudos to the likes of Mischief @ No Fixed Address, Colenso BBDO and Orchard who got a headstart in 2023.
