Do You Want to Be Funny? May 24, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I asked if you WANT to be funny rather than if you think you're funny, because Judy Carter shows that we can ALL be funny if we just dig into our own lives--the good, the sad and the real bad--and find the humor in it. And she shows us how to do just that. Carter's writing style has a way for making you feel she is right there cheering you on. This is not just for those dreaming of standing up in front of a comedy club. It's for anyone who wants to find the humor in their own life AND for those who want to be able to tell their friends a story and have them actually laugh with them not AT them. I LOVE it and learned from it.

This is touted as the Bible of stand-up. There are very good exercises in here as well as funny anecdotes and bits of comedians of the 80's and 90's. It is a bit of a trip down memory lane with the pictures and comedic bits of old but still very helpful. If you have any interest in trying stand-up, I recommend this book. Thinking you are funny and creating funny are two different things and Judy Carter's book helps you learn the difference.
Fastest way to know about Stand Up November 4, 2006
Great insight about the craft and bussiness of Stand Up. Second best to start and stand up!
A MUST HAVE...... October 19, 2006
This is the best for someone looking to start standup. The book had cool questions for you to fill in the blanks and has phone numbers and networking. I read it and it definately makes you more informative and confident in writing your skits. I'm a comedian so I know. :o)
