The Working Week 104

This week, a topic that is particularly close to Wayne's heart. What can managers learn from stand-up comedians?

That's the subject of a new book by coach, author and speaker, Roger Edward Jones, and something that Wayne - who spent over 15 years working as a stand-up comedian – has a thing or two to say about, too.

"Stand-up comedians are excellent communicators and I have often wondered what skills and techniques they use to successfully deliver their routines," Jones says. "So I watched hours of videos and attended comedy clubs large and small. Then to put it all to the test I wrote and delivered a stand-up comedy routine at a comedy club in London. The experience helped me realise that chief executives (and indeed all of us in business) can learn a lot from stand-up comedy performers."
