Where and How Humor Fits in to Various Life & Work Situations

I like to remove misconceptions about the alleged need for seriousness and propriety in life and work situations that do not require such restrictions. 

Most people probably realize that at a private/personal gathering or event, like a wedding, anniversary, birthday, bar mitzvah, home retirement party, or even a funeral, some excellent cutting humor- tight, fitting jokes and such- is almost always extremely appropriate. And much needed!

Using strong humor shows that you have a sense of fun and irreverence about life, that you care about people's time and the toll put on their attention span by speeches and events. It conveys that you care about entertaining them and making them feel good, rather than just taking their time to listen to something purely "serious". 

If you don't happen to be a naturally sharp, effective comedy writer, it is advisable for private/personal events to hire an experienced, proven comedy speech writer, who writes funny speeches that utilize powerful and effective humor. When you get to experience the laughs, smiles, applause and hearty compliments afterward, you will freshly realize the immense positive effect of humor for speeches given at private life event parties and gatherings.

Perhaps less people realize that in the vast majority of business or corporate events that requite public speaking- whether it be a keynote speech, a quarterly check-in meeting, a sales dinner, a major employee promotion recognition, a lecture before industry peers, annual company outing or what have you, that well-places, sharp, cutting-edge humor- jokes, punchlines, laugh lines- are not only far more appropriate and allowed than one may think, but they are a crucial part of the public speaking of many of the most charismatic, powerful, likable and successful corporate and business achievers out there. 

At Funny Biz Speech Writers we happen to know this for a fact, not only by studying various fields and industries with regard to the use of strategic and tactically placed humor, but also from the feedback and results of our own very happy clients. Something powerful to think about in your own life and professional career, whatever your position, industry, job title or specialty.
