Comedy Writing Secrets
~ Written on Mar 4, 2010. out of users found this review helpful.

This book is extremely informative as well as entertaining.
As someone doing a fair share of writing, and appreciating the use of humor in writing, I have found great value within these pages. I recommend it highly.

It convinces you that trying to inject humor into your writing, without studying some of the actual structure and types of humor, puts you at a disadvantage. For anyone interested in adding some humor to increase the impact and lessen the boredom in their written work, this book is a must-have for your personal library.

There are some things you just don't want others too know;

That's how good it is.

Think, Write, Act Funny?

This is a book about writing comedy, the act part of its extended title is not really promoted. If you want to write comedy, the book is ok.

Great Book

Book arrived in good condition as promised. I haven't read it all the way through, but I find it engaging and funny. A good read if you want to get a formalized perspective on comedy and comedy writing.

The Comedy Writing BIble

Anyone toying with the idea of writing comedy or performing stand-up should read this as part of their preparation. After this read "Zen and the Art of Stand-up Comedy".
