Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Sometimes people shake a little bit when they laugh, which is what I do onstage!. Whenever I have to go onstage and do a scene where I laugh about something I ask someone in the crew or on the wings with me to tell me a short, funny story/joke and hold in my laughter until I get to the laughing part!. Or think of someone tripping!.

Okay, this may sound gross but this helps me!.

Usually what I do is think of someone in the audience or my fellow actor just all of the sudden in the middle of the scene lifting there butt cheek and farting super loud!.

I warned you!

Good luck and hope I helped!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't really like method acting because you can take yourself to a place and get stuck there!. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't!. You can laugh at something now and 20 minutes from now, it might not be funny anymore!. You cant always rely on Method Acting, sometimes it works and sometimes it don't!.

The best thing to use is!.!.!.!.!.Your imagination!. Imagine something funny by CREATING a situation in your mind that has NEVER happened before!. You know what makes you laugh, so create a situation in your mind and play it out in your head before you go on stage!. If you're gonna do a funny scene on stage, before you go on stage use that as a PREPARATION, so you'll already be in a laughing mood before the REAL scene begins!. So it want be a FAKE laugh, it'll be a REAL laugh from a situation that you create from your IMAGINATION!.

I hope I made sense and I hope you understand what I'm trying to say!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

just think of something insanely hilarious and random thats happened to you recently!. like something you or one of your friends said that was really funny!. or you could listen to dane cook (you can find his comedy stuff on youtube) and whenever you have to laugh think of one of his jokes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Using method acting is probably the best idea!.

Remember something once that made you laugh or smile, the funnier the better, and It should make it easier to laugh onstage!.

Or, is it possible to down play the laugh a little!? You could just smile or grin instead and laugh or chuckle a little to yourself!? You may find this slightly easier!.
