Say Something Funny

It's not uncommon to bring up Second City improv classes in casual conversation making small talk and instantly have the person say back "say something funny". There's this perception that humor is something learned, something that can be recalled quickly, recited. In reality, what is truly funny is just being honest. Sure the delivery of the message never hurt any joke... but in summary just plain life is funny. When at an improv performance, the scenes that can connect with real life moments but take the scene just a few notches past normal get the most laughs. Its not a matter of saying something funny as it is experiencing everyday moments from a new perspective. Challenge yourself to pay attention throughout your day to everything happening around you... bet you'll realize that you've got yourself a free improv ticket and don't even know it!
