Hi there my name is Pete Miler and welcome to the video series
How to MC Weddings - the Highlights (and Hazards) of performing as an entertaining and organised Master of Ceremonies - using your awesome public speaking skills to make people happier and in turn, make you wealthier.

Today's short instructional video is about Jokes and why the wedding MC should never tell them.

As a pro-MC since the late nineties, I have told just 2 jokes at weddings - and that was because I was asked to by the groom in the first instance and secondly, we were filling in time waiting while a nervous speaker was slowly returning from the restroom.

But interestingly, if you read my client testimonials, they all speak about how humorous I am as an MC; even though I didn’t tell any jokes.

of course, this advice fly’s in the face of a couple of cowboys from Canada who have made money by promoting the ridiculous Wedding MC Jokebook. This rubbish is really dangerous.

These marketers have told newbie MCs that they will instantly WOW their audience by starting off by their Intro with a few jokes that make fun of marriage and portray the groom as a poor sod who didn't know any better!

WRONG. This has Titanic written all over it.

Unless you have a hysterically funny, clean, well-rehearsed, original and scripted routine especially tailored for weddings, steer clear of these stupid JokeBooks and instead, act as a professional MC and trust the humour will develop from the event itself.

Observe and lookout for unusual or interesting things that are occurring; often right in front of you!
Make a clever comment that reveals your sense of humour and then move on;
remember you have not been hired as the stand-up comedian
- all you are trying to do is continue that easy Mile of Smiles we talked about earlier.

If you decide to not use the material then because the timing is not right, write it down & keep it up your sleeve for when the opportunity arises.

And the best time for this is during the speeches, You’ll need to listen carefully and respond appropriately.

I clearly remember the mileage I got from a groom - in a fit of nerves because he hadn’t rehearsed - fumbling around trying to explain the difference in Romance Styles between himself and the bride by saying ‘well, I'm different - my romance comes in spurts!’

That was a gift. I then walked over to the bridal table and offered the groom a large napkin; loudly whispering “well then - you might need this”.

Remember a wedding reception is a CELEBRATION - so don’t ever use the ‘marriage is a prison sentence’ kind of dumb humour.
All the old lines are so predictable, un-intelligent and the guests just moan “Oh No!”. And The same goes for tacky mother-in-law jokes.

Any MC who has developed their own sense of humour should need not resort to these lame attempts to create amusement - as suggested by the inexperienced joke book authors - who admit to only MCing a few weddings themselves.
only amateurs resort to telling boring ‘gags’ plus it looks so desperate!

Instead, take a look at the humour section in the MC handbook YOU CAN BE A WEDDING MC used by all professional MCs across the world
and note what funnies personally make you laugh – those are the ones you can build your sense of humour on - because they will suit your personality.
And your personality as an MC is your core strength.

Learn some one-liners and Tell them to your friends at every opportunity that arises;
and for an even greater effect, personalize the stories with audience members.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here; there is more videos in the MC SECRETS about developing a sense of humour.

Just know that Each culture has its own particular sense of what is funny and what is offensive.
If you are unsure whether to use a comment or not because its a bit edgy, then remember the MC’s credo:
‘If in doubt, then don’t.’
No-one will know what you didn’t say.

Developing a sense of humour has so many benefits - so make it part of your MC skill set.

Excellent advice from the master MC himself! Many MC's could save themselves the embarrassment of telling inappropriate and silly jokes by following Peter's tips in this video. Great job!

Nice
stepping it up Petter. Like the clothing, lighting, and backdrop.
Sounds great too. When can I tour it and maybe do some recording there

This is great. Takes the pressure off having to try and "be funny".
