Zen and the Art of Stand-up Comedy
It's not that I want to be a stand-up comedian you understand, but I was quite interested to see what the author had to say about the art of trying to make people laugh. And the answer was 'quite a lot' and all of it illustrated from experience. From characterisation, types of joke, opening lines, writing tips and what to do with a microphone the author provides fascinating insight into the minutiae of his craft.
