Lee has recently embarked upon a course in stand-up comedy in order to not just hone his sense of humour, but also his skills in communication. 

Stand-up comics are masters of delivering messages through an entirely different form of story-telling, and in this week’s show, Lee tells you all about it. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The three most important elements of stand-up comedy are Connection, Performance, and then Material, meaning that jokes are actually the third most important part of being a comic. 
In business improvement, we are often trained rigorously in a particular material, meaning that it is the material itself that takes priority. But this is the wrong way to look at it. 
In a joke there is always a setup and then a punchline. When you deliver learning, we must seek to differentiate the key learning points from the rest of the information. 

BEST MOMENTS

’There are actually transferable lessons between stand-up comedy and business improvement’ 

‘Connection is first - second is performance’ 

‘Everybody that’s in front of you is different'
