Greg Dean's "Step by Step to Stand-up Comedy" is excellent. I too have Judy Carter's Comedy Bible and Jay Sankey's Zen and the Art of Comedy. All very good resources!

Sankey's Zen and the Art of Stand Up Comedy is a great book, not just for how to write comedy, but also as a general resource on how to be entertaining in front of an audience.

Uhm... I think my favorite would be "Comedy Writing Secrets" by Helitzer. It is by far the best book I have read on the subject.

I might also suggest Laugh and Learn by Doni Tamblyn. Formerly a stand-up comedian, Doni offers practical advice for those interested in interjecting humorous entertainment in training sessions and formal presentations. There's a wealth of information for the general entertainer as well.
