With the Humorous Speech Contest on Thursday 6th September in mind, or even if you just want to improve your humorous speaking skills, here is a short (3:58) video from the 2001 Toastmasters World Champion of  Public Speaking, Darren Lacroix.

In the video, Darren talks about his first experience of standup, how he ‘bombed’, what he learned from the experience and how he used it to become a successful speaker and comedian. It’s also very funny.
