Confessions of a synagogue chairman

Your (sense of) humour

Graham Newman 

Purple 31 (Bar)

How can you make a joke funnier – yes you can! A few ideas on humour including the Jewish joke. Some examples from me – then when you hear how bad I am, some of the audience will try their hand at telling a joke or two, and this will empower you to tell your own best joke. Bring your friends and show off to them.
