An even better book

From the first who wrote a book about standup comedy, about 33 years ago, an even better one. Judy Carter gives us this time a whole workshop, of 'modern standup' comedy, inspired by a big number of workshops she has given.So much to absorbe and learn, slowly, one workshop at a time if one wants to learn it all. Or, rush to read it first, then come back and do the exercises one by one.On her website, she even has a DVD / CD combination accompaniment.

Some of the content might be difficult for UK audiences to comprehend but the book is full of constructive writing exercises.

Obviously written for an American audience so some of the references are a bit obscure. However, the book is packed with constructive exercises and advice. I'm not so sure about sitcom being included, it's almost a completely separate aspect of comedy- hard to get right but easy to get wrong. There's also the different approach to sitcoms in the USA, where teams of writers create hundreds of episodes unlike in the UK where sitcoms are written by one or two writers for a limited number of episodes. For an aspiring comic/writer this book is a very good starting point.

Work through all the exercises slowly and diligently otherwise this book will not help you at all.Recommendation: BUY IT NOW.

The Comedy Pamphlet

This book contains some information I've not seen anywhere else, as well as some good jokes and examples, so four stars. But it is far from a comprehensive guide to comedy. One wonders if the title 'Bible' was meant as a joke.

Viene con toda la jiribilla 👌🏻

Para las personas que vamos iniciando en esto de la comedia, este libro es el pilar de cada cómico. La verdad, al inicio es un poco lento, pero poco a poco los ejercicios que da el libro te dan las herramientas necesarias para empezar a hacer tu rutina cómica. También; tiene un capítulo enfocado a los que nos dedicamos a escribir para programas de televisión e internet 👌🏻

Bom livro

Pra quem tem interesse em estudar estrutura de comedia e comedia stand-up vale a pena ler, se você for brasileiro como eu o vocabulário do livro é relativamente simples, com meu nível de inglês ta dando pra ler de boa e não sou super fluente nem nada do tipo domino um pouco além do básico.

The comedy Bible

Chiamarla addirittura "Bible" è un po' da presuntuosi, ma in tutti i modi Judy Carter ha ripreso un po' i concetti del libro precedente "Stand-up Comedy - The book". Questa, diciamo, è la versione ampliata. Ci sono numerosi riferimenti a grandi comedian.Sono appassionata di stand-up comedy.Libro arrivato nei tempi previsti, in condizioni perfette.
