It's a natural gift.

Or you use your ears and eyes to see why people laugh.

A few tips:

1) Develop a wider knowledge of all things in general or if your friends like a certain aspect. This means you can make witty remarks about different situations.

2) Try to come up with your own jokes, and on the spur of the moment. Its a lot funnier when you're still talking about the event, and plus you'll get a good feeling when you've made someone laugh from a joke that was your own creation.

3) Don't be afraid to express yourself! Most comedians vary their pitch when talking to keep the audience interested, some even make strange noises.

4) If your going to insult someone, make sure they wont take it seriously. If you really want to offend someone though, try offending yourself. Having the ability to laugh at yourself and shrug off any embarrassing events is very useful. For example, if you trip over your shoelaces, just get back up and say "Hmmm, thought there was something I forgot to do this morning." And smile, or something like that.

5) Smile. Its the key to positivity. It shows your not telling a joke for the sake of it, and that the thought of it makes you giggle.

6) Speak clearly. No one's going to get your joke if you mumble or talk unclearly.

Avoid:

1) Putting yourself in serious danger to make others laugh. Falling over is fine, but jumping off a high platform is rather perilous, silly, and may make others realise your desperate for humor.

2) Feel free to insult others in small ways, but taking it too far too often could ruin a well established friendship.

3) Dirty jokes can be funny, but their best left for a more mature age and audience, and should be used sparingly.

Lastly and most importantly, if you hang around with a group of friends, don't worry if your not the funny one, because they're not always the funniest. Everyone has their moments in humour heaven.
