John Vorhaus

John Vorhaus is best known for his comedy-writing classic, THE COMIC TOOLBOX: HOW TO BE FUNNY EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT, now in its umpteenth printing and bound to be making money for somebody long after its author is dead, buried and gone.

An international consultant in television and film script development, Vorhaus has worked for television networks, film schools, production companies and film funding bodies in more than 40 countries. He created his own situation comedy in Romania, ran the writing staff of the Russian version of "Married… with Children," and co-created two social action TV dramas in Nicaragua. He has been a meaningful change-agent for countless writers worldwide. His BOOK OF PRACTICE promises to teach readers “how to do better what they want to do well” and his COMEDY WRITER'S COMPANION has been described as “the last word on comedy from the guy who wrote the first word.”

Vorhaus is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, a member of the Writers Guild of America and a gold-medal athlete in the sport of ultimate frisbee.
