The Humor Detector Story Program
The Only Humor Training for Speakers Created by a writer for Emmy-Winning Comedy Programs (Not Another Speaking Coach Who "Does Humor")
6 weeks of Virtual Coaching. A boatload of humor techniques. Leave with the tools you need to repeatedly write funny stories.I am a writer with hundreds of episodes of comedic television with proven results. Increased referrals. More booking. Higher fees. Contest winners.This program is relaunching Spring 2026.
You're not alone if you're thinking...
"I've tried adding jokes to my speech. Then I tried explaining them. Even worse.""I'm not naturally funny. What if I bomb?""The Toastmasters Humor Pathways haven't taught me HOW to be funny.""My competition deadline is coming up fast. I don't have time for trial and error."
Sound familiar?Here's the problem: You're approaching humor like a speaker.What you need is to think like a professional comedy writer.
Raise a virtual hand if...
You've been told your speeches need to be funnier.Keep your hand up if you googled "How To Be Funny."Raise it high if you practiced jokes on your cat.If your cat walked out of the room, you're in the right place.
The problem with "Speaker Advice" about humor...
Most humor coaches are speakers who share "what worked for me," but they can't give you the system behind why it worked.
You need my writer's room approach: the proven techniques that created laughs in 800 episodes of comedic television.
