Humor for Your Speaking (Get More Laughs)
This will make you funnier for life. DARRENTEED!
“There's nothing like the feeling of making an audience laugh!”
Imagine yourself on stage as you tell your opening story, and suddenly the audience bursts into laughter. You feel the connection, and your confidence level skyrockets as you see the joy on their faces. They are now sitting in rapt attention riveted to your message. Fantasy? It doesn’t have to be.
Never before has an easy-to-follow program like this been created.
Dear Fellow Laugh Lover,

Wish you were funnier? Want the secrets behind “how to” get more laughs? Give yourself or someone else the gift of more laughter.

You can finally own the secrets. Get More Laughs By Next Week™. Whether it is a one-on-one situation or a large audience, the humor principles are the same.
Finally, a way to get more laughs!
What could more laughs do for you?
Audiences expect to laugh. I was shocked when the owner of a speakers' bureau said to me,

“In the meetings industry, humor is now a non-negotiable. Clients expect it.”

When I was interviewing people, I asked some of the top sales professionals about the power of humor. One of the most telling statements I heard was from a guy who worked half as many hours and sold twice as much as everyone else:

“The days I don’t make people laugh are the same days I don’t sell much either.”  – John Yates, Top Sales Professional, Bose®
Maybe you tried humor before, and it didn't work?
Afraid to try it again? You are not alone. Many presenters use ‘jokes’ from the internet and wonder why they don’t work. Part of the problem is that they are a ‘content detour’ from the presentation. If they fall flat, it makes them stand out even more. The other part of the problem is that they are not your own words, so the audience can sense the lack of authenticity, and they lose connection. Ouch! Other presenters try to figure out on their own. That's like playing poker in the dark. This can cost you time, money, and years of frustration. Many never ever figure it out.
It Get's Worse
Each time you are in front of an audience, you are either internalizing new habits or reinforcing old ones. There are many humor opportunities in the stories you are already telling that will never be discovered if you are not looking for them, especially if you don’t know where to find them. What if you knew exactly where to look? What if you knew which stories you could make funnier?

Would you agree that funny people think differently?

The truth is they do. You will never be funnier until you change the way you think. That comes first. If you want to be funny, you need to act and think the way funny people do. How do they create a funny story? How do they make it funnier? What do they see that most do not?

ANSWER: Get More Laughs by Next Week™ - Secrets to finding your funny bone!

I’ve condensed 18 years of effort into one home-study course. It is chock-full of tools and humor techniques that will transform your communication forever. In fact, after page 28 of the Giggle Guide, you’ll never look at humor the same way again. I Darrentee it.
“OK, it's official. Darren LaCroix's techniques actually work! I did get more laughs, -- and they scored much higher on the laugh graph than I have had before.” 

– Anna Perdriau, Canberra, Australia
"But, Darren, I'm just not funny!" — PERFECT!

You are just like me. I took the stage at an open mic night in Boston back in 1992 and bombed miserably. I had never been on any kind of stage before and had had panic attacks for years. When I would throw out punchlines, all I would hear was the ceiling fan, and that was painful.
It doesn't have to be painful.
I can prove it.
I discovered a “process!” I learned that comedians actually used templates, exercises and formulas to generate their own humor. This was so enlightening. This meant that it truly was something I could learn. Not only that, it worked! I started getting laughs right away. In fact, I still use today one of the humor bits I created when I was first learning. That little bit of effort keeps paying me dividends every time I take the stage. I have now taken the principles of humor and applied them to professional presentations.
“I had a major breakthrough! You should definitely check this out.”

– Barbel Warren, Las Vegas
What if the humor you created was part of one of your stories? 
Worse case, even if you got no laughs, it’s also no risk. You are telling the story to make a point. Unlike telling a joke, it’s detour-free humor. Would you enjoy that feeling?

He speaks broken English and got 15 laughs in a 7-minute speech.

As a result of what he learned during this program, Chandra, one of the humor students in this home-study course, did exactly that. That’s not even the best part. He has an incredibly thick accent that’s difficult to understand. He sent me an e-mail saying, “I got 15 laughs, and this time, most of them got my message!”
“The end of laughter is followed by the height of listening.” 

– Jeffrey Gitomer, Best-Selling Author
“I'm not humorous... I came to lighten-up socially, as well as in speaking.”

– Ray Lubsen - Ontario, BC
Get More Laughs By Next Week™ was recorded live in Las Vegas at my Humor Boot Camp® with 44 students who were not professional humorists or joke writers. In this home-study course, you will go through the same 17 laughter-generating exercises. The boot campers created humor bits that worked. One of these exercises took less than five minutes. You will see and hear these exercises in action. The students wrote and performed them and instantly got laughs. Their humor belief skyrocketed. You’ll feel like you are part of the boot camp. What would that do for your confidence?

“But I’m naturally funny, and I’d like to have more planned humor?"

Excellent. Half the people who come to me to walk away with humor secrets are people who are “naturally” funny and don’t know how or why. Maybe when they are in the moment or when surrounded by friends who are hysterical, but they have no idea how to create humor from scratch. The same exercises and formulas will help you do exactly that. Create new “planned humor” over and over again.
What would it mean if you could get more laughs?
Seriously. How would using more humor help you with your presentations?
Those who use humor will
  • Connect deeper
  • Earn more
  • Motivate more effectively
  • Get invited and referred more
  • Be more memorable
  • Stand out
Oh, yeah. They have more fun, too!
Don't give another presentation without using these 7 comedy secrets, simple formulas, and proven templates!
Get More Laughs By Next Week™ will give you a simplified and powerful perspective on humor. You won’t believe how simply and quickly you can create your own humor to make your message more memorable. You’ll see how you can bring even boring topics to life. It is easier than you think. One of the participants at the live event said,
You'll see BEHIND the curtain!
Get insider, proven, comedy secrets. You’ll walk away with a process you can use again and again! Not only will you get to see two World Champion speeches dissected for humor purposes, but you’ll also walk through the exact process that I used to create a routine that became one of my funniest presentations. It is an amazing process that comedians have been using for years. In order to make these humor secrets even clearer, you’ll get a Giggle Guide™. It's laid out in such a way that it will make the seemingly complex skill of humor easy to understand and implement. You’ll love the "Humor Mill" (page 91), a powerful checklist that will allow you to uncover more humor in the stories you are already telling. Take a look at Get More Laughs By Next Week™. It's jam-packed with thought-changing content. What secrets are inside to help you find your funny bone?

What is a laugh worth?
That is up to you. If you are like me and love the feeling of making people laugh, then they are all priceless. I was a shy kid, and I was basically invisible. Getting laughs added so much to my personal confidence that I quit my day job to get laughs for a living. It could be the difference between getting a sale or not. Do you think funny presenters get hired more? Invited back more? Earn more? Sell more in the back of the room? Do you think they are having more fun on stage? Would you enjoy being one of them?
