Review

"Attention, aspiring writers! You'll learn so much about the craft from Schreiber's book that you can skip school altogether and spend your tuition money on sex and drugs."--Tom Robbins, novelist, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Jitterbug Perfume"Some people are just plain funny. Some people don't know funny when it bites them in their collective ass. For the rest of us in the middle, this book might help. That is, if funny is your idea of a good time."--Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller"Brad Schreiber has the rare gift of demonstrating the art of comic writing even as he teachers it. He's like one of those professors whose class you couldn't sleep through. Laugh and learn."--Phil Proctor, writer, performer, co-founder, The Firesign Theatre"Brad does a magnificent job of breaking down the elements of comedy."--Jason Clark, producer, Ted, Stuart Little

"At last. A how-to book by someone who actually knows how to."--Larry Gelbart, M*A*S*H (TV), Tootsie
