		<description><![CDATA["There is nothing like the feeling of making an audience laugh.”~ Darren LaCroix
 

Maybe you aren’t funny? Perfect. You are just like me! I took the stage for the first time at a Boston comedy club in 1992… and bombed miserably. It got even worse. My punchlines were so bad, the only thing I could hear was the ceiling fan. Ouch. Then I discovered a process. I learned that comedians actually use exercises and formulas to generate their own humor.
 
Do you believe funny people think differently? The truth is they do. You will never be funnier until you change the way you think. That is exactly what this program will start to do for you.
 
What would it mean to you if you could use humor more effectively? Seriously! How would using more humor help you with your presentations?
 
They say that presenters who use humor…
 
Connect deeper • Earn more • Motivate more effectively
 
Are more memorable • Stand out • Have more fun!
 
(Oh yeah, they just plain get booked more, too!)
 
 
Stage time, Stage time, Stage time,
 
Darren LaCroix
2001 World Champion
of Public Speaking
