So you want to be funny, huh?

Studies show that a sense of humor can improve your mental and physical health, boost your attractiveness, and improve your leadership skills.

Unfortunately, one of the best ways to get good is to get stage time at open mics and make mistakes or by watching other comics get laughs.

There are a variety of styles and genres of humor. But at these venues, you can work mainly on these two: standup + improv.
