impressive comedy book
I've probably read around four other comedy books. this is by far the most effective overall because of the roadmap this gives you as to how to construct jokes. as a consequence I'm now able to understand how comedians structure their shows as well as the actual techniques they're using

Good, and I appreciate the self narration
I found this book very useful, and I appreciate that the author chose to narrate it herself. I have to admit that I did initially find the fast-paced delivery a bit of a shock to my ears when compared to other audiobooks, and I did notice the occasional error, like an obviously misread word. However, I ultimately found this refreshing, as it made it feel more like I was attending a live class, rather than a monotone reading. The energy and enthusiasm of somebody who's familiar with the material and comfortable with addressing a crowd gave it life.
