What amkes this book so great is the fact that it is so detailed. most stand up books give vague insights into the creation of comedy material.

This book really worth the money. A truly incredible book. I think the book is very informative in how to arrange material. This is touted as the Bible of stand-up.

There are very good exercises in here as well as funny anecdotes and bits of comedians of the 80's and 90's.

If you so desire to be a comedian than this book is a must. I think every aspiring comic should have this in thier collection.

If one is at all interested in becoming a standup comedian, or simply becoming a better public speaker this is the best book on the market.

Judy Carter does an excellent job teaching the average person to understand comedy. It is full of examples and exercises that make it very useful and practical. the book takes you through the basics of developing your skills and an act.

This quintet of comedic wisdom is, in itself, worth the price of the book. The book's layout is appealing and has plenty of white space. And in the Appendix, Carter includes a list of comedy clubs, comedy publications, and agents who handle comedians.

Definitely get this book!

You should wait until richard pryor writes a how to be funnybook; wait... he's dead. Save your money and stay in school.

Book arrived in good shape. Seller alerted me ahead of time to some handwriting on a few pages but it wasn't a big deal to me for its price, so I said "ship it."
