About this listen
This entertaining and sharply written guide - for both beginners breaking into comedy and professionals seeking to improve their sets and advance their careers - examines the work of great comedians such as Louis C. K., Jerry Seinfeld, Eddie Izzard, Moms Mabley, Hannibal Buress, Sarah Silverman, Richard Pryor, and more as a means of illustrating the most important techniques of performing and writing stand-up.
Here, Stephen Rosenfield lays out a clear plan for achieving success, candidly explaining what works, what doesn't, and why. Including a 12-item "Successful Comedian's To-Do List," Rosenfield states, "Get undeniably good at each of these and you can kiss your day job good-bye. You will be a pro."

a must for anyone in or looking to be in stand up
Easy to listen to, no filler bs, taught me lots.
This has made me a better comedian and even taught me a dash of the business. Well worth the listen, and will do so again.

Even if you don’t want to do Stand-Up
Worth it just for the chapter on The Voice.
It is a great break down of how Stand-Up works, the forms and delivery. I’d recommend this to anyone who just likes stand-up comedy.
