And not only that, then you can deliver comedy.

In fact even if you can't laugh and you find the world a bleak and terrible place,

you're probably a very good comedian because to be a comedian you don't have to be the life of the party.

You don't have to be outgoing and gregarious.

Really, you just need to be yourself.

真的，你只需要做自己。

And if you think about all the great comedians in the world you've got Woody Allen - he's not a happy and popular guy.

想想世界上所有偉大的喜劇演員，你可能會想到伍迪．艾倫 - 他不是個快樂、受歡迎的人。

Or in Australia you've got Charlie Pickering - Charlie was not the king of the football team.

Being funny is just about talking to an audience about the way you see the world.

搞笑就是向觀眾傳達你如何看這個世界。

And you see the world in a way that nobody else can see the world.

而你看世界的方式肯定與眾不同。

It's your own, so as soon as you start thinking funny and writing it down - if you have a funny idea just write it in a little notepad -

屬於你自己的方式，所以只要你開始思考搞笑的事，並把它寫下來 - 有搞笑的點子，就把它寫在記事本中 -

before you know it you'll be saying things that are amusing to an audience.

不知不覺地，你就能說一些風趣、逗人笑的話了。

Don't worry if you're shy, don't worry if you're quiet, don't worry if nobody ever laughs at your jokes.

別擔心自己害羞、別擔心自己木訥、別擔心你講的笑話沒人笑。

You just stand there and see the world your own way.

Oh, and one more thing.

哦，還有一件事。

There's only one rule in comedy - the punchline goes at the end.

喜劇中只有一條規則 - 把關鍵的笑點放在結尾。
