World Champion Craig Valentine suggests you play with the timing of your humor to find out what will get the biggest laugh. For some stories it is best to quickly set up your story followed by quickly giving your punch line. For other stories it is best to take time with the story, drawing out events, and making the audience wait a long time for the punch line.
Testing and timing,
