Kevin Hart's 3 Secrets To Hilarious Storytelling
Kevin Hart is one of the funniest men alive. Whether in interviews with Ellen Degeneres or George Lopez, or his standup specials, he tells absolutely hilarious stories. In fact, most of his standup routine consists of him telling stories. But he does it in such a way that hooks an audience and never lets go, partially because he is able to include so many jokes.
It's not that Kevin Hart's life is inherently more interesting than the rest of ours. He is just a better storyteller. The good news is that storytelling is not something you're born with or you're not. Anyone can learn to tell the kind of funny stories that made Kevin famous. You just need to know the most important pieces.
While there are many storytelling techniques and styles that will enable you to captivate an audience, ultimately, the best storytellers share a few things in common: they get attention, they commit, and they are constantly refining their craft. These fundamentals can be used in any kind of story but they are especially useful for funny stories
So if you want to know how to tell a story better or you are just are interested in what makes Kevin Hart's stories so engaging, check out the video.

I always get halfway through my story and feel the need to hurry it up cause im like "god ive spoken for so long"
yo Raheem! sick mashup tutorials!
Your feelings probably aren't wrong but you don't know how to interpret them it seems. If this is the case on how you feel about the matter there are two things that might have gone wrong on how i think about it.
Either you stretch out the story too much by giving too many details repeating yourself or in any way or form give more information than is actually needed or you haven't yet figured out how to make your story entertaining at all times to the point where you feel it yourself. Think of your story like a novel, a series or a movie that really has an interesting premise and think about where the writer fails to keep the pacing right or succeeded in it. Thats the key you're looking for since based on your phrasing it doesn't seem like you lack the interesting bits that form your stories.
Same

Same here 😂
when you are 5 ft tall, every third word coming from your mouth just HAS to be "listen,listen,listen"
how true this is.
damn that true. i feel him.
Ohhhh my word 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭
I am 5 ft and this is very true

Damn dude. You broke it down to a science!
Mark its analysis only. Just like all football(soccer) matches analysis. You need analysis to explain it
LİTERALLY ! he like found a new branch of science he analysis well besides he talks fluent , friendly like a normal dude conversation not like boring article style HİS STYLE LAUDABLE HE GETS THE ATTENİON :D
This is comedy fam. There is specific ways to be funny and that's how comedians get funnier. They get better at their craft. Anyone can do it. It just takes a little confidence and understanding of comedic timing
Yeah Charisma on Command! Yeah secince!
Good storytelling:
1) Attention of the audience first
2) Commitment to the story
3) Character development
4) Consolidate the funniest parts based on people's reactions
Should get more likes
Well said
5) Drag it out to over 10:00 minutes so TH-cam algorithm pays you more $

I just have to say, my Fiance' who passed away at the beginning of the year was a huge Kevin Hart fan. He was an older man who had been known for many years to be a fantastic storyteller and he was.
I was amazed watching this video to see the tactics they both used so similarly. I doubt he even realized it. The only thing that would have made this better was if he was here to show it to.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face this evening.
Sorry for your loss. Glad the video made you think of him. :)

Oh, I'm sorry but I'm glad you can recall such happy memories.
Sympathy on your loss, Andrea
I'm so sorry for your loss, may he rest in peace.
I knew i wasn't crazy, Kevin hart has a pattern. I was high when i figured this out!

Ahhh reefer revelations
this is the best legit self improvement channel ive ever seen, thank you, subbed
cute avatar yo
I agree. Love these videos although sometimes it's too fast for me to grasp what I just saw in the clip.
@@rinagetsreal6189 lucky they have this thing called rewind
@@jpdude7274 lol. Cute. Thanks.
Can you show us examples of what not to do.
Yah please
I don't think he can cz the comedians used as bad joke examples will think he's a hater
@@life_of_adore Amy Schumer...
I wonder if Kevin is conscious of what he does
Recall Summary: Grab people's attention first: "Listen" say their name, give the story a preamble (hook), repetition
Commit to your story: use expressive gestures, play the character,
Test out funny stories to see how people react, then use them again.
remember that when ever you see him he is working, but I do think there is authenticity to what he is doing
remember that when ever you see him he is working, but I do think there is authenticity to what he is doing
I am not so sure he is conscious. Knowing someone who was a fantastic storyteller and being almost 100 percent sure it was almost instinctual with him, I think a lot of it is just natural to Kevin.
Even down to the slight name change, such as when Kevin called Jimmy, "Jim".
I think that when it comes to people who are such successful at a particular skill, it's pretty much always both. At the highest level, you don't ONLY need instinctual talent. You need to be conscious of what you're doing and how you're doing it well. That way, you don't stagnate. However, talent does help by helping you learn faster, and the instinctual aspect increases the success rate of your experimentation to be the best.
AlfredEiji indeed skill beats talent
that's it .... I can't stay like this anymore.... i'm subscribing to your channel
Me...!
@MeeeeeeAYrLateeerr
usually I see titles like this and think its just clickbait for sub par content, but this is really good. subbed
Welcome to the channel!
This video is excellent. I love the whole channel so much.
+Austin Sanniota Thanks!
Austin Sanniota you said it right
When I hear "true story" twice, I prepare myself for an earful of bullshit.
hanging around bullshit people probably
+Tadpole McSqueeze yep.
Did you get that feeling from Kevin Hart during these clips? I felt like I was sucked in by it, but I agree, normally "True Story" sounds like a car salesman pitch. I wonder if Hart has a different way of saying it.
Right!
Travis Heeter. I think it's because you, knowing Hart is a comedian and his job is to make you laugh rather than con you into buying a car, let him get away with it (?) You obviously know he's exaggerating and making stuff up at times, but that's his job.
Thanks Charisma on Command - getting attention, and making sure you answer side questions before plowing ahead with the story. Awesome advice. And being animated, because if you're not excited about the story, you can't expect your audience to be excited about the story. As well, setting up the story - "true story", "just this and I gotta go..." All great information. And last, but not least - practice, practice, practice the story. I'm working on story telling for my own channel and this was insightful. Thank you, Cheers Rick
Thanks! All the best
These breakdowns are great. You speak clearly and really hammer home on the point in a way that's easy to understand. Good job
+Andrew Martel Glad you like them! I'll be bouncing back and forth between this style and "talking head" to try and get better at both
+Charisma on Command I just ran across your videos and they're really good, I'm a fan of verbal techniques and non-verbal communication. I was looking at the Donald Trump videos, I don't know if you know who Conor McGregor is, the popular UFC MMA Champion, you should really check him out, he uses similar speaking techniques very similar to the ones Donald Trump uses. I bet he would be a good subject for a video ;)
Here are two things I noticed in Kevin in the video as well:
Pauses are key in strategic places. I noticed this in Kevin when he's narrating what someone else said, saying something like, "And he said to me...[punch line]." That small pause, with the right emphasis on the words in the sentence can make the listeners lean forward, waiting for the next part.
The second thing is to portray the characters yourself, and not simply narrate the story. Kevin almost always tells the story by using his hands (as mentioned in the video) and telling the story from an almost first-person view even if the story is about someone else. He doesn't say the general idea of what someone else said, but rather uses direct lines, direct quotes from the person. He didn't describe his son doing the Spiderman move, but did it himself. It's what made the audience feel so much more included.
But those are my two cents that I saw too :) If anyone else also notices something not mentioned, it would be awesome to point it out!
Man, the way YOU grab attention in this video is something to analyze too xD
Dmitry S. right! Hahaha I have already analyzed him in my previous videos. Check it
Your insight on communication has been very helpful thank you :)
Happy to share :-)
I do pretty good telling stories naturally, but I've been watching your vids all day, and am totally subscribing. The thing is, what you post can be used not only in our personal lives with friends and family, but in our professional lives, and in any setting with anyone. These are fantastic!
+SerenityGamesToo Gracias :-) Feel free to subscribe if you haven't done it yet!
With this secret formula, I can now make the Krabby Pat.. Oh wait
Ive had people tell me that I'm a master storyteller... Assuming I had their attention. I'm so surprised that I never realized how important it is to simply make sure you have attention before you say something. Thanks for uploading this one, this is exactly what I needed.
+christian hanson Yeah, a lot of it can occur for people unconsciously, but it's nice to be able to diagnose it is something starts to not work as well
One of the best storytellers I've seen is Kevin Smith, and I don't know how he does it. I've seen an audience member ask him one simple question and he uses that to tell a 50-minute story that has multiple flashbacks transitioning naturally into one another w/o boring the audience. Then he brings it full circle by finally answering the original question in the end, turning it into a punchline of a needlessly long yet entertaining tangent.
Kevin Smith..is boooooooring
His Superman "giant spider" story is the best!
Thanks for this. Your advice sets me on the path toward being a better storyteller.
Glad you found it useful!
Very insightful, thank you!
Thanks!
no idea how your managing to reply to all the comments haha fair play
When u hear "true story" you know its gonna be exaggerated 😂😂
Unless it’s from a introvert then it’s blatantly a lie for comedic effect or it’s just true
This is one of the videos I have watched the most times, just love the pracitcality of it. Did a video on my own this week on storytelling in conversations, so are going to try and implement that during this week. But the tips in this video for how to start of the story - to make sure you have the audience atention first - is priceless to me! Thanks a bunch. Really.
This was actually one of the best lesson I have got and not even expecting it. I always want to give you a blank check and let you write any amount on it for teaching me this lesson. This will do wonders for my business. GREAT content!
Glad you like it, thanks!
Dude , you must have a psychological trick up your sleeve cause i love every one of your videos. Great job, bro.
Thank you kind sir!
I like how much respect this channel has for each of these individuals. I think it's really cool to look at all of these various politicians and personalities and learn from them.
Also, I'm learning a ton from this channel. This is perfect for those of us too messed up in kindergarten to actually do the social part.
Notice that Robin Williams did the same thing
Genius! simple. yet effective .
°Happy to hear that!
+Charisma on Command ooh myy gooood your videos are amazing, they have changed my life, im a totaly different person right now, thank you very much you are amazing
The most interesting thing about these video show they incorporate their own techniques before teaching you. Go back to the beginning of the video and spot what they say: Start with the carrot: "How to instantly hook and crack up" 0:06. Subtext is you + video = Kevin Hart (other celebrities/popular characters substituted as necessary). Then: "Stick around to the end of the video" 0:12. This means that EVERY part of the information is gold - undivided attention + better youtube % watched.Then signpost with "3 most important tools" so that viewers don't get lost. Finally, "while there are tonnes of techniques the most important thing..." 0:20 Acknowledge that this is well trodden ground but that you alone have the best solution. Did I do good +Charismaoncommand?
°Nicely done!
You are a very good commentators!
Thank you kind sir!
fuck you Unbelievable! I heard he likes Fleshlight! 😁
You have Jay Sankey voice
also, when telling a story, dont use past tense forms. speak in the present tense. it gets audiences hooked easily. tom holland does this a lot when story telling
Thanks for the bonus tip💪🏿
This is great info; anyone can learn from it, you're quick and concise. I can't imagine how many young kids you have helped with your positive message. Kudos to you!🎉
“AND YALL BETTER ACT LIKE YALL CAUGHT IN A NET !” 🤣
Yo your analysis on all this material as well as how you identify points to prove your videos are just brilliant. You got yourself another subscriber man
This is absolutely amazing man... your insight into those social situations is one that I have not found anywhere else. Thank you. I wish you all the great things in the world, and of course a little bit of selfishness on my side , to make 500 videos like this so I can binge watch them all!
Have a great and inspired day!
Dany
+Daniel Haha, that might take a few years, but we'll get there
Love how simple & digestible this is!
I particularly like the part about reusing jokes in different ways & getting all you can through characters
+Oli Gilbert Appreciate that - I'm working on my editing to hopefully make the visuals add to the "digestibility" :-)
I watched this video yesterday and today I listen to Donald Trump address the people of Fresno California and its crazy cause I noticed Donald Trump using this exact method.
Right right!
Can you do a video on Bill Burr?
Key Lenny YESSSSSS
Hey Charlie and Ben (and anyone else on the charisma on command team!) I love your videos and watch them daily. Lately we've watched a couple of Kevin James comedies and there's something about him that is just so lovable and charming. Was wondering if you might consider a breakdown of him? Thanks for all you do!!
Dude amazing videos, just recently found your channel and they ahve been very helpful. I had to go watch a bunch of kev's stand up after this haha

To sum it up:

Loving your channel buddy! Looking forward to next year watching all your vids. I've been nothing but a Mum to my 3 girls the last 4 years and finally my youngest starts pre school next year! Can't wait to try and practise your observations (wasn't sure of what the best word was to use) in EVERYTHING I do, and especially when I start looking for a job and making new mates!
Happy you found them useful!
OMG this stuff is gold! I think I found a great channel to follow. Great analysis. Thank you for uploading.
I honestly can say I thought this video was going to be a pointless video to get likes and stuff for no reason, but I think this guy sure knows how to make videos and interpret stuff! This stuff is great, and it's stuff that actually makes sense and applicable - stuff you RARELY see on random videos on youtube! Keep up the great work!
It gets annoying if someone carries on the joke for too long tho.
Depends
well, field test it... see how long you should be going until people get bored and next time make it shorter. Trial and error...
you proved to be a very good story teller cause I'm captivated by your channel I can't stop watching your videos
Glad you're digging them
There was so much information about storytelling, speaking, and commanding an audience in this video, that I could watch it 10 times and still not get all the info from it. Great Work!
Great video. Kevin is one of the best comedic story tellers out there. You did a great job of breaking it down.
I never realized how he made me giggle, thanks for the tips, very helpful
Glad you're digging it
Nobody:
Charisma on Command: Laughs mid sentence for absolutely no reason
Jason Anderson XD that’s true bro, why did he? Lmao
your amazing man by compiling these videos, thanks man!!
The best college lecturer I had was a history teacher who told the stories about history very much like this. Not as a comedy routine but as GOOD stories, ones you wanted to hear. Also as he was speaking he would walk around the classroom, get louder, get softer, get faster, and best of all throw your name out there as if he were only talking to you. That was an easy A because it was easy to remember what he taught you. You had enjoyed it.
I just realized how good I am at storytelling
I’m not good at being entertaining but I give you ridiculous amounts of information from the story and people just kind of zone out listening but not like I’m bored zoned out like deep into the subject zoned out also I have a extremely monotone voice and a southern accent so I’m like a narrator that usually has a stuffed up noise do to allergy’s
Lol samee. I realize usually stop what they're doing to hear me talk, without me even telling them to listen
I don't think Kev learnt this. He was born with it. That's his talent.
Capturing attention is critical. If you lose them before, you’ll lose them forever. So true. Good video. I wanna hit all these elements in my storytelling videos!
Super stoked I found your channel! Thank you for making charisma science easy to understand. Subscribed!
I want to point out that you don't have to use Kevin Hart's style to be successful or to keep people engaged. However, the 3 principals. 1. Getting People's attention 2. Being Concise and adding spice 3. being in the moment of a story to see which part has vibed with your audience right now. Are all great secrets to good communication in teaching, in story telling, and in many other platfroms. You can watch Jon Stewart and see how he runs his show, you can watch Televangelists, or your local church pastor, and learn a lot. Remember though to tailor these principals to you. You're not Kevin Heart. You're just as good, you're you.
+jilow Great point!
Commitment comes naturally to me, grabbing attention first is more difficult. I used to be well-known, in school and around my town. Automatic respect, you know? They all knew me, they all knew I was good and when I spoke most would shut up and pay attention.
Real world is tougher xD
brilliant analysis and examples- thank you! Very enjoyable- to listen to and watch. Gotta love that Kevin Hart...
These story telling videos have helped me so much. People are so engaged in my story that when I'm interupted by a waitter or anoher person, the person listening ASKS me to continue my story. Thank ou ConC
Hmmmm, guess I'm late in the game by watching this in 2019, lol, but this is great! :D Thanks!
Hi I’m here 2 years after you are you
Great tips!! Gonna try to implement these concepts in my vlogs to make them more interesting
Happy you found them useful
Having watched a few of these vids I will say that I am becoming a fan of CoC now. The presenter gives it to you straight - he's firm but he doesn't shove it down your throat. His style means that he not only grabs you from the start but also comes at the subject from all different angles, which makes it interesting and enjoyable. Also, his attention to detail is notable because he covers the subject really well.
Hey man, I love your channel! What I love that you do that most other channels don't is that you give us a huge amount of value and great content in the video before making an ask or a sale. Plus, the ask that you make is to go and check out more great content, not just sell us some poorly thought out gimmicky program. Real stuff, great advice, solid content. Keep doing what you're doing man, thank you!
~ Thanks for the support and appreciate the kind words Niko :-)
Black people especially have a very gifted voice and a way of talking that no other race even comes close to.
I think every race and culture has gifted storytellers. But Black people have had to fight for attention for so long and that makes effective storytellers.
False. I’m black and I struggle w social interaction
@Jackal Prints for real
We do? 🤔🧐
Bruh, I fucking LOVE you.

I been watching and listening your uploads for sometime. Man you helped me to have my influence increased and I thank so much
Love your channel man! Thanks for these videos.

Excellent analysis of story telling and attention gathering. I never even thought about the science behind engaging people. This video is great!
Had to thank you again this clip has added so much value to my day
Make a video on James Spader from Blacklist
Really decent content - there is a lot I learned from your channel.
Keep it up Guys!
Glad you found them useful!
I really like your channel. Major props, it's got some great info man cheers
The very first time I did a stand-up comedy routine a seasoned comedian in the Audi is critiqued me he said I am a great storyteller. He told me to cut the fat during my routine. He complimented to me on being able to do dirty comedy. I am going to start studying a lot about comedy so I can better my craft because I absolutely positively love what I do ,and channels like these I find very very valuable that’s why you have millions of followers!! Thank you!
I wish i could be the only one who can watch these videos so i can be the ultimate charismatic human
That was truly one of the best how to dissection of a successful story. Great job and thank you !!
Thanks for the encouragement!
It's funny being from Philadelphia and watching this video. We say listen a lot out here. I believe it started with the underground rap scene. The way he tells stories most of my family and friends tells stories they same way. A lot of rappers out her get your attention the same way. I love the breakdown. Keep up the good work.
Charlie! What you are creating here is absolutely incredible. You are building a great foundation for your self!
+Zach Wood Thanks Zach!
End every statement with "SAY IT WITH YOUR CHEST!"
when i tell everyone to listen and pay attention they don't care
Do you say it like you're excited to tell a story, or do you say it like you're pissed off? 😅
possibly the most informative video I've seen on the channel so far, amazing
Awesome video!! Love the reference to split testing (or A/B testing to some).
Wow great video, awesome channel . First one I've watched . Also just got on your list. My biggest take away. Attention, attention, attention !
Too many times I've been ignored during my speech, so maybe that's why now I feel aversion to tell another stories. I was the only one who listened to everyone, but no one (except one) listened to me, wankers.
People don't want to listen, they want to be heard. You need to make them listen.
+Paul Physman Or you just have too many friends with ADD, like me!
+Heaven Scent Or your stories just suck...
or you could believe me when I say that they have ADD. dick.
+Paul Physman you re not alone
im not even worried about grabbing attention but i like these videos SO mcuh because i guess i never understood how different conversations can unfold and ive never really thought of it. Love this channel keep posting plz
Hi Charlie, I really love your videos. I was wondering if you could do a video on the aspects of power struggle in conversations. I think this ties in to the new topic you presented at the end, about handling conflicts with a boss, which would differ from how one would handle a conflict with a coworker. Or not. I think one trick is when dealing with anyone, whether it is a boss or a coworker, you don't want the power differential to be so big or obvious. Thanks.
..but that can be tricky.
I tend to be good at stories the only problem i have sometimes is when i realise I've gone off course at av built a story up with no punch line or finish. i never know what to do then so i turn it into a "argh damn where was i going with this, am stupid lool right?" kind of joke
yea this channel is really really good. i love how its logic, smart and very thought through.
°Appreciate the feedback :)
bro posted 4 years ago?? you’re such a blessing. thank u for the content you create you’ve helped me in life a ton.
Subscribed a little while ago. I really love your channel. All the videos are informative and inspirational. Also, I'm just wondering...what microphone do you use to make these recordings? Thanks.
+Elad Bruhl It's an iRig directional microphone. It plugs into the computer or directly into an iphone
7:47 Really great video but can we take a second to talk about how Kevin is like half the size of the other guy?
I was just laughing throughout the video
Really enjoying watching these videos, Keep up the good work I hope to learn a lot from you.
Great Break down of how you can capture and hold audience. Storytellers can learn from what you've presented here. Well done, as a fellow storyteller I will be using more of this and adding this video to my playlist. Thumbs up!
~ Thanks Rich!
