Today’s Tour Guide Training? How to be a funny tour guide and how to give a funny tour. Being funny is one of those traits that many incredible tour guides seem to share. You don’t have to be funny to be a great guide, but a well placed joke or a good hearted jab can really make your tour a lot more fun.   People love laughing, being surprised and hearing about absurd people and places. A great tour is ultimately a form of entertainment and it is worth it to figure out how you can incorporate humour into your experience. Luckily, there are lots of ways to be funny, but unluckily, there is nothing less funny than someone trying too hard to tell jokes. My strategy today is as follows: 1) Check out this episode for some tips on writing jokes and creating humour on your tour. 2) On youtube I’ve found a tremendously funny English tour guide named Beefeater Bill. His tour lasts just under an hour, but is a great example of a tour guide being hilarious.   Hopefully, you find these episodes helpful and they will at least provide you with a little inspiration for being funny on tour!   To connect with ‘Beefeater’ Bill Callaghan you can use the links below for his website and twitter account! http://www.beefeaterbill.com https://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=BillyBeefeater -Kelsey T Click below to share today’s QnA tweetable: Being funny is mostly telling the truth about things -Bernard Sahlins via @beabetterguide Finished Listening?
