Time Session What happens
0:00 to 0:30 Find Your Funny: Icebreakers, comedy games and exercises to get everyone comfortable being playful and spontaneous.
0:30 to 1:10 Why Humour Works: What makes people laugh? Surprise, recognition, exaggeration, contrast, timing. How humour creates attention and connection.
1:10 to 1:50 The Art of Observation: Finding humour in everyday situations. Turning workplace experiences, people and ordinary moments into funny material.
1:50 to 2:30 Funny Without Telling Jokes: Stories, analogies, exaggeration, self-deprecation, unexpected statements and conversational humour.
2:30 to 3:00 The Comedy Toolbox: Rule of 3, misdirection, callbacks, contrast, pauses, punchlines and escalation. Hands-on exercises for each.

3:30 to 4:10 Make Your Presentation Funny: Transform boring corporate statements, slides and speeches into engaging, memorable material.
4:10 to 4:45 Work the Room: Reading an audience, energising employees, getting participation, handling silence and knowing when not to make a joke.
4:45 to 5:15 Think Fast & Be Funny: Improv-style exercises for spontaneity, quick thinking and responding to unexpected situations.
5:15 to 5:50 The 60-Second Challenge: Participants deliver a short presentation or speech using at least 3 humour techniques. Group feedback and refinement.
5:50 to 6:00 The Takeaway: Everyone creates their personal Humour Toolkit and identifies one technique they'll use in their next presentation.
The flow of the class:
PLAY - UNDERSTAND - OBSERVE - LEARN - PRACTICE - APPLY - PERFORM
This makes it feel like a professional communication workshop powered by comedy, rather than a six-hour stand-up comedy class.
I'd also make "Make Your Presentation Funny" the biggest practical section, because that's where the participants directly connect the comedy techniques to their actual work.
