Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mother-in-laws. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. Something had to change. In one year, David went from being deathly afraid of public speaking to regularly performing stand-up comedy and winning storytelling competitions in front of packed houses. And he did it by learning from some of the best storytellers in the world: standup comics. In Do You Talk Funny, you will learn the key principles of standup comedy and how they can be applied to your speaking engagements and presentations to make you funnier, more interesting, and better looking.

Contribuyó de forma notable a la renovación lírica y teatral de la época; fue admirado por sus contemporáneos y aún lo es en la actualidad, aunque ciertos autores modernos le consideren un escritor controvertido.5 Su implicación política, que le supuso una condena al exilio durante los veinte años del Segundo Imperio francés (1852-1870), permitió a posteriores generaciones de escritores una reflexión sobre la implicación y el compromiso de los escritores en la vida política y social.

It took Bonnie McFarlane a lot of time, effort, and tequila to get to where she is today. Before she starred on Last Comic Standing and directed her own films, she was an inappropriately loud tomboy growing up on her parents' farm in Cold Lake, Canada, wetting her pants during standardized tests and killing chickens. Desperate to find ''her people'' like-minded souls who wouldn't judge her because she was honest, ruthless, and really rude Bonnie turned to comedy. In her explosively funny and no-holds-barred memoir, Bonnie tells it like it is and lays bare all of her smart (and her not-so-smart) decisions along her way to finding her comedic voice.
