One of the best ways of delivering a message is with the use of humour. Learn how to begin a speech with a humorous story that get’s the listeners’ attention, end a speech with a humorous story, use humorous stories and anecdotes throughout the body of your speech to emphasise points, incorporate fun into presentations and prepare and present an entirely humorous speech. This is not about just throwing in lots of jokes; there’s a tremendous difference between a well crafted humorous speech and a collection of jokes.
