67. It is often been said that the secret of good comedy is timing.
68. As a comedian myself, I know that's not true.The secret
69. of good comedy is to be funny! I was told that a joke the other
70. day about a man whose his dog has no nose.When asked how
71. it smells, the man replies 'Terrible!:The problem here is
72. that, despite of the joke having a fairly clever punchline,
73. no one finds it a funny. However good your timing is, you
74. can't make out people laugh at that joke. I get my friends to
75. tell to me jokes all the time. If I've never heard them before,
76. and if they make me laugh it out loud, I might consider
77. using them in my comedy act. I am like jokes that rely on
78. word play (even though the joke was about the noseless dog
79. is rubbish!).'My mum's from Cuba and my dad's from
80. Iceland so I guess that makes me up an ice cube.' Now
81. that's a classic joke however you tell it. Comedy is made not
just to do with timing!
