Wouldn't you like to deliver that work speech that is actually funny? Put your clients at ease? Bring smiles to children's faces?
From the science of what makes something funny, to types of jokes and how they work, to how to craft jokes out of literally anything, even to how to perform them like a professional, Alex'll make you enter 2024 with a bang!
Pun for all the family!
Great job connecting with the group with your high energy. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and, of course, the laughs! We've been laughing lots today. I also managed to slot in your accountant joke in my interview with our Executive Vice President - and she laughed!!!! Hopefully, we can have you back another time for the intermediate course! – IHG Group
