3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat Useful, May 22, 2003
By A. B. Schwartz (Bloomington, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book to help me write comedic material. In this regard it was somewhat helpful. Ray lists the four different kinds of comedy, which include comedy of superiority and comedy of recognition. Another useful point he makes is that humor must always have a target. If you don't mind the crude writing (Ray continually refers to his "Pyramid of Comedy," a description of which is nowhere to be found) and the sloppy spelling, this book may be of service.
