Well, it's pretty simple - there is no secret. There's no secret of comedy.

Modal verbs - A2

If you can laugh, then you can write comedy.

And not only that, then you can deliver comedy.

In fact even if you can't laugh and you find the world a bleak and terrible place,

you're probably a very good comedian because to be a comedian you don't  have to be the life of the party.

You don't have to be the person  who is always cracking jokes.

You don't have to be  outgoing and gregarious.

And if you think about all the  great comedians in the world you've got Woody Allen - he's not a happy and popular guy.

Tina Fey - she wasn't popular at  school either.

Or in Australia you've got Charlie Pickering - Charlie was  not the king of the football team.

Being funny is just about talking to an audience about  the way you see the world.

And you see the world in a way that nobody else can see the world.

It's your own, so as  soon as you start thinking funny and writing it down - if you have  a funny idea just write it in a little notepad -

before you know it you'll be saying things that are amusing to an audience.

Don't worry if you're shy,  don't worry if you're quiet, don't worry if nobody ever laughs at your jokes.
