For People Who Find the Best Comedy Is Laughing At Yourself

Comedy Divine: Timing, Proper Planning or Both?

You never know what marketing, social networking and posting your enlightened comedy on enlightenedjokes.com will set in motion.

Here is a great reminder of the power of planning and "divine" timing.

I use to think I was a bad business owner. It turned out I was just bad at marketing. Something exciting changed in my business when I realized two things:

I needed to dedicate at least 20% of my time marketing every week. Constant marketing and relationship building is the life line of a healthy. growing, thriving business and two nine million people are searching for joke and funny stories every month. Many of these people are business people online looking relief from a stressful job or the challenges of being an entrepreneur.

This is where you come in. Be their source of relief. Make them laugh or cry with laughter at the funny things that go on in your industry. You don't need to be a stand up comic, just someone with simple insights about the comedy in your professional world or industry.

Day 1: Quest for the Enlightened Comic

JAY LENO: My next guest went in search for an Enlightened Comic, you know someone who doesn't peeper their jokes with judgments or complaints- (Beat.) I know. I know, and instead focuses on personal feelings and experiences, perhaps a Seinfeld without the sarcasm. She first did a Google search for jokes by the Dalai Lamai, and couldn't find any.

Here's my suggestion. In addition to giving lectures on promoting peace through compassion, why not bill His Holiness as the Enlightened Comic. Unsuspecting fans would tune into Late Night to get a blast of spiritually uplifting humor before drifting off to deep meditation.

So who will host His Holiness, Dalai Lama (14th) -Tenzin Gyatso as the Enlightened Comic first? Should it be me, Dave Letterman, Conan O'Brian, Jon Stewart, Craig Ferguson, Stephen Colbert or my next guest who has been dubbed as "The Writer of Our Lives" and has written a book with a blind figure skater. Please welcome the very talented young lady, Ruth Anne Wood.

TODAY'S COMEDY SKETCH: Frozen

WIFE: Let's turn around.
HUSBAND: Let's keep going,
we haven't even walked half way around the loop.
WIFE: The lake is almost completely frozen.
Have you warmed up, yet?
HUSBAND: I can’t feel my toes right now and my left-
WIFE: Let’s talk about something else.
HUSBAND: I could go for a nice cup of coffee.
WIFE: Hot chocolate warms me up every time
and maybe some marshmallows.
HUSBAND: I don’t know about you, I’m not any warmer,
but all of a sudden I have a sugar high.

I'm Not A Comedian But I tell Jokes In Real Life

For years I had secretly imagined myself writing bits for mostly male comics and gravitated to Robin William, Seinfeld, Steve Martin, Jay Leno, Steven Colbert, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle and Dinnis Miller. I'm almost embarassed to say my worst inner critic distinctly sounds like Jim Carrey.

My earlier comical female influences included Goldie Hawn, Woopie Goldberg, Lily Tomlin, Bette Midler and just in general my all time favorite lady, Meryl Streep. I loved the way these people boldly framed the world through their distinct perspective.

Recently, I had a wake up call to the new generation of comics who had slipped my radar since dare I say, my husband and I unplugged our TV over a year ago. Hey that's what You Tube is for, right? While writing the opening scene for my screenplay "Five Rites" (where the leading lady gives a light hearted speech to her family the day she introduces her fiancé) I began researching female comics. A whole new world of humor and style opened up for me.

Over the last three years my own comic voice has come through as I've actively taken the funny , insightful moments in my life and jotted them down in a sketch comedy format. Lately my husband has been encouraging me to "put it in the joke file"

Then it dawned on me, I am writing for my favorite comics as I went back and wrote in their voice I heard in my head. Now that's comedy. So I'm starting a movement to maintain or restore sanity. It's called write your story down and then assign a comedian who would be great at telling your story as if it were their own.
