Stop it!

Fellow speaker,

World Champion Craig Valentine suggests you can get more out of your humor if you use what he calls the "stop, drop, and pop" technique:

1. Stop suddenly what you are saying
2. Drop your head and look at one person in the audience
3. Pop out your funny line directly to them

For example, ("If you've never seen the movie Alien, it's a story about an alien...[stop, drop, and pop] You probably didn't need to see the movie to figure that out."

Back and forth,
