HOW TO CREATE HUMOUR WITH PROPS
Are you a big fan of this blog?
Fan
My prop? A big fan.
Pun on a physical fan and a fan as supporter.
i thought I would explain that in case any one of my two readers speaks Swahili or Vietnamese. You just never know nowadays, who your friends are o Facebook.
I often get friend requests from people who speak no English. Their posts are all in a foreign script of a language I don't recognize.
If you don't have a prop, create one.
Look around the building.
Entertain and surprise. The laughs may come when you least expect them. Just keep exaggerating.
The audience may contribute.Ask them.

How did I remember his name? He must have had a glass of wine, vin as the French say. He flew on a 747 but he got as far as 74 and knew something had to be repeated.
If you have children or grandchildren, their toys will provide great props. Look for anything very large, or very small, or animated, or that makes a sound, or a puppet.
I look around shops everywhere, on motorway stops on my way to a holiday destination.
If you want a humorous speech or a workshop on languages and humour call on Angela.
