For these past years, we are fortunate to have audience members, media partners and clients complimenting our shows. Many say that the comebackkings most demanded sketch, Dance History 101 is a show rich in creativity and smart in humor. And right after that, the next question pops up..."How do you guys get to be so funny?" or "What is your recipe for laughter?" and sometimes, "who brings out the creative side to your sketches?"

Ill be honest here..i have no idea how i got to make people laugh. Heck, i still have no idea if im funny at all. all i know is that i grew up watchin tv and a loved comedy shows. sometimes we would talk about an old comedy show and just laugh at each other as we imitate the characters in the show. Anyways, i believe that one does not have to be a comedian to be funny. Ill show you how.

As i was surfing the internet for articles to improvise my observational stand-up comedy i came across this speaker who is a Humor Specialist (yeah,i didnt know there was such a profession too). John Kinde a well known "Humorist" shares with us how anyone at all can be funny just by following simple guidelines.

Okay, so you're interested in lifting your laugh ability factor, or maybe finding your inner funny. Here are a few tips on how to do this at work.

• Suffocate sarcasm - It has too much potential to be taken the wrong way in a work environment.
• Justify your jokes - Don't just memorize the latest joke making the rounds on email. Tailor your jokes to the individual and keep them clean.
• Be frugally funny - Making a funny comment to diffuse tension during a meeting is a great idea, but don't overdo it.
• Join a friendly neighbourhood - Hang around funny friends. Spend time with those who are upbeat and avoid negative people whenever possible.
• Giggle with the gang - You can be seen as having a great sense of humour without ever telling a joke. Just listen to those around you and share in their laughter.
• Get with it - Remind yourself to have fun everyday. Place humourous cartoons and quotes in your personal workspace.
• Partake in periodic personal putdowns - This can put others at ease and you don't risk offending anyone. Be sure to keep a light mood and don't make it a habit.

"The ultimate test of whether you posses a sense of humour is your reaction when someone tells you you don't."
- Frank Tyger.

During one of our recent press conferences, a cheeky reporter asked us this:
“You guys spend so much time together; do y’ll get sick of each other?”

Even though she was kidding, but it got us thinking, an act we’re not too familiar with but thinking nevertheless.

After much alcohol and cancer-induced products were burnt, we concluded that:

1. Yes, at times we do get on each others nerves but that’s only because we love each other like brothers and being brothers… sibling rivalry get the better of us.

2. We sometimes take each other for granted but that’s only because we’ve seen the best from each other and when that level isn’t reached/given we feel that the group’s talents is not being utilised to the fullest.

3. We sometimes push each other to the limit because we want the group to grow as a family and if one member is falling behind, we have to push.

So to answer the question, yes we do get sick of each other sometimes but at the end of the day we’re still a family…

But on the contrary, being a little too close isn’t such a good thing after all…

maybe some time away could be a good idea after all...

Too much time together can have its effects on some of us...

Sometimes confusion sets in...

But at the end of the day, we still love each other... (ok maybe love is such a strong word)
