From Lyn Roseaman, Area 45 Governor
Humour is one of the greatest assets a speaker can have, and most professional speakers will tell you “if you ain’t funny, you better get funny”. But if you ain’t funny, don’t worry, because the ability to make an audience laugh is a learnt skill.
On Friday 26 June, Ian Hawkins and David Jones will present workshops on how to use humour in your public speaking. Ian is a stand-up comedian, author, conference moderator and makes regular appearances on BBC Radio 2, BBC London and LBC. David performs stand-up comedy and runs stand-up comedy courses, and is the five-time UK & Ireland Table Topics champion.
Come and learn from two of London’s most experienced Toastmasters.
After the workshops there will be a comedy show, starring Toastmasters who have been performing stand-up on the London circuit. If you want to perform at the show, a limited number of open spots are available – please contact the organisers in advance for details.
