I love people who make me laugh. And it’s not too
difficult to make me laugh if you know me. It’s something like this. If you can
make me laugh, then you can be sure that we will get along really really well. I
think it’s the best sort of an ice-breaker at any social do. Once you have
gotten folks to laugh at whatever you have said you can be sure they will pay
you attention! True Story! :-)
Actually, imagine that. Trying to make people laugh. And
that too just by talking. That takes some guts. And it’s very difficult. Stand-up
comedy is even more challenging. Leave apart stage fear, just standing there,
with a mic in your hands, looking down at the crowd milling around, not knowing
whether you might strike the right chord with them and not spout out anything
too offensive that might work against you, that’s scary. You have no choice but
to take your chances.
But if done right, and with some disclaimers at the
beginning ;-) then it’s definitely fun! And it takes professionals to do that! To
sense the pulse of the crowd and to rib-tickle them … Like Russell Peters. Or
Vir Das.
