But then I do find myself creating jokes (good ones and the bad - {a lots of bad ones}) all the time. Which in turn brings forth a doubt. Why is something so funny to me not funny at all to others and why something which is funny to others not funny for me.
Basically the golden question - why is comedy so hard?
To make someone laugh is one involuntary service human have engaged in since time began. It could be as unsophisticated as a fart, or a burp or sophisticated like a pun between words or a stand up act. But comedy is dealing with human mind. And each human mind is whole and complete. In-essence a human needs customized comedy to tickle his/her funny bone.
You have to engage the audience. You have to tell the story. Hence with my limited understanding here are golden rules of comedy.
Golden rules of comedy.
- Start each funny routine with the thought that you know nothing.
- Don't expect unrealistic rewards
- Every single humour you achieve makes a difference.
