Perret covers almost the whole spectrum of comedy writing starting from the very basics of amateur comedy writing all the way up to the facts of working as a professional comedy writer and generating regularly a steady volume of highquality jokes and sketches

The thing that i especially like about this volume is the fact that not only it dissects the process of joke writing and shows you the howto techniques but it also a focuses on comedy writing as a professional career

Watch any pro comedian on stage and the point becomes all too obvious

Gene perret is the god father of the formalised joke writing method he used to write for bob hope a lot of his joke writing exercises seem a little basic but id challenge any comedy writer no matter how experienced to do the organised list and complete it with opposites

To do it well takes an hour but whenever i did it i always got a joke from it
