I'd like to submit a suggestion to ANYBODY who wants to have ANY humor in their patter. This is one of the most profound books I have ever read and indeed will take your comedy to a new level. It's called Comedy Writing Secrets, and although it's only available in major book stores, I highly recommend picking it up.

Thanks Dan. Glad you are lending a helping hand by providing that info. Who is the author of "Comedy Writing Secrets"?

I own that book, have read it twice, and had considered suggesting it myself. It's by Melvin Helitzer and is published by the prolific Writer's Digest Books of Cincinnati, Ohio, publishers of (duh) Writer's Digest. The shelf price is $16.99.
Helitzer teaches Humor Writing at Ohio University and his course is so popular that students actually have to sign up a year in advance and then audition to get into the class! I highly recommend the book. |

Even if you don't feel like youre learning anything NEW, you'll find yourself going out the same day and just making jokes that you would never have thought of before. Then read a little more, and you'll make more jokes. It's really amazing.
