No Pressure

Have you ever delivered a punch line to a joke only to have to say, "that was the punch line"?

Is that a bad joke or a bad delivery?

I'm not a comedian but I have a lot of respect for comedians. They put themselves on stage in front of people from all walks of life and are expected to make them laugh... No pressure.

Last night I was at the Toronto Comedy All Stars in Ottawa and had some great laughs. I also felt a little embarrassed at some points. Some jokes were great, others were definitely a miss.

One comedian in particular stood out. The person who stood out was the best story teller.

Whether you are looking to get attention on your business, looking to connect with somebody or just just looking to make somebody laugh, everybody remembers a good story.

I heard a quote recently, "The peak of attention is at the end of laughter."
