While I was very much so looking forward to reading and reviewing this book, it unfortunately was archived by the publisher before I was able to read it.

I am not a standup comedian, but I sometimes tell jokes in my class. it was a pleasure to read Mastering Stand-up. Its a a clear and well-written book, with many tips on how to tell a joke well. I sometimes laugh at my own jokes and this book helped me put that behavior in perspective. I learned that the most important thing is to enjoy your time with the audience, and to focus on strategies that communicate well. Lots of great tips, and very practical.

While there are countless memoirs of stand-up comedians, there are few books available that teach the art of stand-up comedy. Occasionally customers will request a book on the subject, but there isn't much to offer. This is a great addition and one I'll happily recommend!
