If you're looking for a simple introduction to the art of humour writing, this is a good start.

The book is well written, and may at first glance appear to be overly simplistic, but as you read on, you realise that the author's presented you with a clear, concise guide to improving your writing.

I've applied the principles in my day to day job and have already received a number of compliments on my reports, which now include snippets of humour to liven up an otherwise dull and dreary technical paper.

Spend the money and the time on this book. You won't regret it!

Whether you're a satirical writer or produce outright comedy, there's a market for funny writing, from humorous articles to sketches. Article writers will relish Gedne Perrett, himself one of the top comedy writers going, in Damn! That's Funny! which tells not just how to 'write funny', but how to market one's humor to the right audience. Understand what you want to say, how to best say it, and how to sell it effectively in this guide to producing and publishing outstanding humor.

I recently purchased this book along with a few others as my life is one bad comic standup routine, and I figured that some people would get a kick out of hearing the stories. So I bought a couple books to help me along. This book was basic in its prospective of how to write a humorous story was was a very funny and interesting read. Not sure it will help me write an award winning book, but I enjoyed reading it none the less.

I enjoy Gene Parret's books and have many of them. My question is , How can I get in touch with Mr. Perret? I would like to ask him some questions and lend him some information concerning one of his books . Can you send me his address or P.O. Box to send him a letter, or an e-mail address--or even a phone number. Thank you-- Ronald S. McCollor
