Summary: 5 Stars

I've bought several books on stand up comedy and,this is the best book.I enjoyed reading and learning from the author.
He tells you what you need to know,why you need to know it and gets to the point real quick.He doesnt bore you.The author shares his experiences and explains things in a very sensible way and very clearly.And,in simple english too.This guy is your friend who just wants to help you be good at stand up comedy and reduce your chances of doing badly.

If you want a book that will help you in your new career or you're thinking about it then buy this book first.This book is the one book you will keep with you.

I have nothing negative to say about this book at all.Its great value and has so much to offer.Thanks,Jay!
