Seriously! I keep thinking how funny a joke/story is and I am laughing so hard by the end that everyone is just laughing and has no idea what the story was supposed to be about.
stare at so metingg besides theperson andd dont think about ot lol
tell yourself if you start laughing now , no one will laugh when you’re finished telling them.
This happened to me in a play, I was supposed to say something funny and kept laughing, the director told me if this keeps happening they’ll kick me out.
relax, calm down, take a deep breath and tell the joke, if not working, think of sorrow as you tell the joke
write it down
think of really sad things wile you’re telling the joke, i.e. avalanches, floods, famine….
The trick actors use to not laugh during a line while they are really close to someone is to repeatedly switch between two or three points of focus. I.E. if one guy is wearing a shirt with a pocket on the front, there’s a lamp behind them, and there’s a window in the field of view, just keep switching between the three things every couple of seconds.
First of all, make it looks like it spontaneous. That will make you the awesome-man of your group.
Second, let’s see your problem. You have problem to stop laughing, try not to think about the punch line. Know the joke, if you know the joke inside out, the rest will follow.
Third, practise,practise,practise!!!. Whether it is in front of the mirror or with your family, practice not to laugh.
Fourth, if you had tell the punch line without laughing, wait for other people reaction. Do not laugh alone. If they laugh, you laugh. If they don’t, walk away. No luck ,mate!
