Business Talk Comedy Punch-Up Agency

there's a guy named David Nill who uh he's this Irish guy lives in the Bay Area who hated public speaking forced himself to get into standup comedy in order to overcome his fear of it and now he like he's quite a good comedian if you look up his videos he's done really really well he did something a really interesting service one of these agencies that I think is just fascinating he said when I sit in an audience and I'm watching like a conference talk I hear a story right because everyone knows when you tell a you know give a conference talk you should tell stories your voice changes when you're telling the story you'll see the audience start to lean in they're like blah blah blah boring thing always telling a story then they lean in and pay attention so what David was saying is he notices the audience do that he's like as a comedian I can see where the joke is going and then like the speaker totally fails to land the joke he's like there was a great joke there like you could have done this punchline and so what he did is he got a bunch of his comedy friends together and said we're going to make an agency where we will punch up your business talks You bring a talk that you've already done and you send it to us and we will write it no more than 5% and we will make your talk funny and we will measure laughs per minute throughout your talk
