Do some research first
I’ve been doing comedy for about 3 years now and I consider myself moderately successful at it. I thought that I would find a book that could possibly help my writing process in some ways.
This book came across more as a book for people who have just learned what stand up comedy is and want the process explained to them in the most simple terms possible. I watched a few clips of the author’s stand up after getting a few chapters into the book and really wished that I had done this before purchasing. Her comedy is very lowest common denominator and it’s clear why she chose to make her career teaching instead of doing comedy.
Maybe some bored housewives might get something out of this book but if you’re actually a comedy enthusiast then it’s kind of a step backward and comes across a little infantile and condescending. Just listen to some podcasts with comedians instead, you will probably get more practical information and enjoyment.
