"'Go Ahead and Laugh' is a great resource for anyone looking to add humor to their presentations. By including entire speech texts and then analyzing those speeches, the book creates a simple but powerful structure that moves beyond theory and into application. I don't know any other book on speaking or humor that does this, and the result is very effective. I have taught and performed humor and comedy for over sixteen years, and I found myself re-thinking my approach to sections of my speech. I would recommend this book to anyone who not only wants to be a funnier speaker, but who also wants to see examples of great humor in action."
