Summary
When a joke flops...it hurts.
Nothing beats getting big, genuine laughs from a room full of people.
But when a joke doesn’t land, your confidence takes a hit, and it feels like you’ve let everybody down.
Figuring out why a joke didn't work and trying again is what makes you funnier.
You could try grinding it out on your own, hoping you’ll get lucky.
Or you could get serious about your sense of humor.
With a career spanning a quarter of a century, veteran comedian and comedy coach Mike Lukas (Tonight Show, Comedy Central, Second City, CBS Radio) strips comedy down to the bone.
In Finding Your Funny Muscle, Mike shows you how to “flex” your ideas into funny, original, and relatable humor that gets big laughs—and makes you memorable for the right reasons.
His proven blueprint includes:
- How to develop your own brand of comedy by answering just four questions.
- Five ways a "Comedy Lens" helps you create original punchlines.
- The exact joke framework pro comics have used to build their careers.
- How to come up with A+ material—fast—using the "Humor Blueprint".
- 36 "Humor Heightening Devices" to consistently create fresh material.
- A simple technique to avoid freezing and easily remember your "bits".
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
