where's the comedy?
The one interesting thing about this book is that the author is British, so I learned a little bit about the differences between the US and UK markets.

This review is from: Teach Yourself Comedy Writing (Teach Yourself (McGraw-Hill)) (Paperback)
The one interesting thing about this book is that the author is British, so I learned a little bit about the differences between the US and UK markets. Unfortunately, I didn't learn anything about how to write comedy. Really, it's more of a "Basics of the Comedy Business in the UK." So if you want to know how to format your manuscript for different markets (radio, TV, etc.), you may find this book helpful. Anything else, not so much. Besides being unhelpful, it's boring. She spends a whole chapter lecturing the reader on not being offensive. Now, I prefer my comedy on the gentle side, but that does not inspire confidence in her comedic abilities.
