Do you remember Steve Martin with his Walk like an Egyptian routine? The
main reason it was funny was because of the strange body angles. These angles
may have been fine for Egyptian dancers, but hilarious for stand up comics. I do
a routine where I do several sick looking Tai Chi moves. The audience can't help
but laugh.
Charlie Chaplain used the duck footed stance with his arms at his sides, but
hands turned up. He also waddled along. Although, I am not an advocate of using
a mirror in public speaking training, this is one time you can experiment in
creating funny looking poses by thinking odd body angles, stances,
facial expressions, walks. You'll
guarantee more laughs with this technique.
