#59 - 10 Fast Tips on Connecting Through Comedy

Jul 21, 2021 • Jonathan Herron

CONNECT THROUGH COMEDY

We use comedy techniques in everything we do at Life Church based on my background and years in Chicago improv.

There are many "rules" in improv comedy that will apply to your life, leadership and legacy!

Let's see if I can list a few of them right now:

1. Don't deny.

2. Don't ask questions.

3. Don't dictate action.

4. Don't talk about past or future events.

5. Establish who, what, where.

6. Don't negotiate.

7. Don't do teaching scenes.

8. Show, don't tell.

9. Always say 'yes' and then heighten the initiation with 'and.'

10. Don't talk about what you are doing.
