How to be fun and entertain your friends

You will often hear people say that anyone can be funny. If so, the world would be full of Jerry Seinfeld and everyone would laugh at their lives. You can learn to be fun, but it doesn’t come naturally to everyone. There are some tricks in the trade.

To be fun, you must have a captive audience that wants to be entertained. For example, you won’t tell a joke or your boss after dropping the ball into a million dollar bill. This is not a good time. However, a properly executed unexpected prank can set the stage in other situations that will have your friends calling you the life of the party.

Real life situations are usually the funniest things you can offer. Check out some of the most successful comedians in the world. Bill Cosby, Richard Prior, Eddie Murphy and Kris Rock, all they really do is tell stories about their lives that make us fall out of our chairs. It is true that they have a way of doing it, but our lives provide us with your humor every day.

Another thing that evokes laughter is a bit of pain and suffering. This is a time-honored tradition and is the root of antics humor. What was more fun than the Three Stooges when you were a kid? If someone gets hit in the head or gets an injection in the groin, it can cause them to fall out of the chair and prevent them from laughing so hard. Work on some of these things and you will be amazed at how much fun you can get with your friends.

Quick wit is also something that will come in handy when trying to be fun. Commenting on the obvious with a statement that reflects the direct opposite is always a success. Think of Chandler Bing in Friends. His sarcasm would have fans in stitches on every show.

Does it take work to be funny? Sure it does, but it beat a hell of a lot to being boring!
