Customer Reviews

This book offers useful advice for all comedians.

Have you ever found yourself with only a pair of ping-pong balls wondering, "Is there a laugh here?" Jovial Bob Stine would affirm that there are two or three good laughs available from such time-tested comic materials. Whether you are trying to make the most of your "awkward stage," or hoping to hone your skills for the broadcast media, this enjoyable volume holds a wealth of inspiring gags and tips. You'll find hilarious walks guaranteed to earn you acclaim as you use them to enter classrooms, cafeteria, or costume parties. The author--a consummate comic himself--provides useful illustrations and charts of funny (as well as unfunny) situations. The referencing is superb; this guide could conceivably be taken to prospective funny spots on the sly and referred to as needed. Armed with this slender tome, the comedian-to-be will gain the edge offered only through proper preparation, confidence, and inspiration.
