Art of humor

ABOUT
Most people think humor is something you are born with. It is not. It is a skill built on a simple principle - surprise.

In this workshop, we break down what actually makes something funny, and train you to create that surprise on demand, in real conversation through theory, improv role-play and writing exercises.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
A new way of observing your everyday world and the techniques behind every good laugh:

1. The theory of incongruity - why breaking expectation is the root of all humor
2. Straight and wavy line - when "normal" contrasts with the "odd" to make things funny
3. Benign violation - the sweet spot between "that is wrong" and "that is hilarious"
4. Appropriately introducing humor in different social or workplace contexts

THIS IS FOR YOU IF
1. You want to elevate your interactions at work, on a date, or in social settings
2. You would like conversations to feel more fun and alive
3. You want to break tension and set a lighthearted tone in your conversation
4. You are curious about humor as a learnable skill, not a personality trait

WHAT TO EXPECT
1. A new way of thinking and articulating it
2. Techniques you can keep practicing long after the workshop ends
3. A warm, fun, fully interactive few hours
