Funny on Purpose | Free Humor Workshop for Speakers, Toastmasters & Presenters

Instructor:
Jerry Corley

Most people think humor is some magical talent you’re either born with… or painfully not.

That’s nonsense.

Humor isn’t random. It’s structured. It’s psychological. And yes—it can be learned.

In this free 30-minute introductory workshop, comedy writer, performer, and Breaking Comedy’s DNA author Jerry Corley reveals the hidden mechanics behind why human beings laugh—and how you can use those same principles in speeches, presentations, meetings, storytelling, or everyday conversation.

You’ll discover why surprise is the #1 trigger for laughter, how emotional honesty creates instant audience connection, and why many “funny people” are actually using repeatable structures they may not even realize.

Whether you're a Comedian, Toastmaster, speaker, coach, presenter, executive, educator, or someone who simply wants to become quicker, sharper, and more engaging—this workshop gives you immediately usable tools.

You’ll learn how to turn ordinary sentences into humor, find comedic opportunities in real-world situations, and stop staring at a blank page wondering how to “think of something funny.”

You don't have to wait for something funny to happen.

You can MAKE funny happen.
