This community will support you with joke writing and adding more humor to just about anything that you're doing.

Some people want to add more humor into their miscellaneous creative projects, fiction or non-fiction writing, career presentations and communications, or they simply want to more effectively relate with others.

Yes, later you can decide that you'd like to give joke writing a go.  You'll be welcomed with open arms.
