Why do most people think that it is easy to be a funny guy? It isn't and if you are not born with it, then God help you! In fact, if it was so easy, wouldn't everyone earn a lot of money making people laugh day after day? But hang on. If you only want to learn a thing or two about being "funnier", then the tips here will help you out. These are from big name comedians themselves.
Many jokes make fun of yourself. If you are bald, make fun of that. It will work without fail. Take a look at Borat. He is a jew and he made a career out of making fun of jews! Or Chris Rock for that matter. He made a career out of making fun of Blacks. The point here is that it is always funny and people always have a good time listening to such jokes.
Secondly, physical humor works wonders. Falling when you get on stage or hurting yourself by accident with something on stage make people laugh. Of course, it needs to be convincing or they would not laugh. The best example is the jackass crew. They made money by hurting themselves. I'm not trying to scheme to make you hurt yourself but I'm making a point that people find it funny when they hurt themselves.
Surprise them. That is is the key. The bigger the surprise, the bigger the laugh. Imagine a narrator announcing your name and a donkey comes out and stands in front of the mic. A moment later, you go and say, "sorry guys, my double came out by mistake". This will make people laugh. But of course, you need to figure out how to make a donkey go and stand in front of a mic, but you get the picture right? I promise you this will work though.
These are only few how to be witty tips and should give you an idea what comedy is about and how to make people laugh. There are more tricks and tips that you can use to be funny but these will have to do for now.
