The art of using humour in public speaking
Because humor is such a powerful emotion, it is a good idea to understand (if that is possible), the psychological basis of humor. More specifically, what makes laughter and the humorous situation “work”. Your assignment, from now on, is, when you hear people laugh, to ask yourself, “Why did they laugh”? This attention will sharpen your skills at recognizing possible material for your own use and help you get a feeling for what makes humor work.
