Stand-up Marc Blake is to teach men how to laugh women into
bed.
The workshop is based on the age-old theory that women always
cite 'good sense of humour' as more important than looks when
seeking a partner.
As agony aunt Virignia Ironside once said: "I've been
laughed into bed by more hideous men than I care to think about
- and when in the morning, I've looked at their horrible little
heads on the pillow and wondered what on earth I'd been thinking,
they've only got to crack another joke and I've suddenly remembered.
Blake, who has been lecturing on comedy at London's City University
for more than a decade, believes this can be taught and
lovesick men obviously agree, as the session is already oversubscribed.
He said: "There is only one skill that really counts:
being funny.
"Not second-hand chat-up lines or Alan Partridge impressions
but genuine, seductive wit - the kind that's not only going to
get you through the front door but up the stairs and into the
bedroom."
The workshop, to be held in London tomorrow (Wednesday) will
offer tips in approaching strangers in everyday situations anf
how to make the first move.
Blake added:" This course will give you the confidence
to realise that the opposite sex are just as vulnerable, confused
and desperate as all of us - except for the really pretty ones."
Matt Tombs, of sponsors UKTV G2 says, "There are more
single men in the UK than at any other time in history - three
times that of 30 years ago - yet how many of these men have the
skills to find true love?"
