07:10 Who should care about comedy, and why?

11:08 If somebody out there is preparing for a talk or going to be in front of a crowd for whatever reason, and they're thinking of incorporating some comedy into their workshop or talk where would they start?

16: 50 How do you keep an audience engaged?... Psychology, how important of a role does that play into the way that you go about designing your humour? And the way that you're delivering.

22:25 What are some of the other elements that are important? For example, when we're public speaking... body language, how important are these things?

23:45 Would you say everybody in the world could acquire this skill? At a basic level... or are there some people who are just beyond hope?

26:10 What's your advice if somebody did want to be a bit more fluid in their comedy?

30:25 And are there any tips on structuring a joke?
