Nonverbal delivery skills

PART 1

Check out a few stand-up comedy performances on YouTube, Netflix, or some other streaming TV service. Take note of how the comics use nonverbal delivery skills—such as eye contact, gestures, and movement—to engage with their audience. Which comics are most effective at using nonverbal delivery skills? Why?

Please note: I am asking you to identify their use of nonverbal communication, not critique how (un)funny they are.

There are words like “ahh” or “uh-huh,” which make much more sense when expressed than when said, as it can make a different meaning than what you intended. For example, in the same video, kelvin is trying to laugh to make people understand how hard he laughed in the car when he was trying to tell his friend how scared he was. The use of gestures when delivering that message makes one picture themself in that situation, making it funnier than if he could explain without gestures.
