    Exellent

    Wow! this book really helped my career as a comedy writer come to life. It has proved to be an invaluable addition to my comedy library. In fact, this book helped me out so much that I have a new TV show coming out which is starring the De-Lovely ms. Julia Louise Dreyfuss. Be sure to catch it on your local stations.

    Setting the standard for how comedy writing should be taught!

    This book is without a doubt the best I have seen. It has taken the art of comedy writing and broken it down into a step by step format, allowing the reader to follow easily at his own pace. It covers everything from why we laugh at a joke to different techniques a person can use to obtain material to write about. Truly a one of a kind book in a class all by itself!
