Storytelling...please help

This is one of my sticking points right now. I have lots & lots of good stories from my life (i have to say ive done and seen more than a lot for my relatively young age). Some funny, some good DHV packed stories but im having trouble telling them in a engaging way. I have a lot of friends that arent the best with women but can captivate a whole audience with their storytelling abilities. Im trying to figure out how they do it. Are there any articles, books, advice that you guys can recommend for me??
