How to Be Funny Even if You're Not
Comedy runs on surprise. Surprise has techniques, and techniques can be practised.
Funny is treated as a personality setting: you either have it or you were born serious. People who are reliably funny do not experience it that way. They are running techniques, most of which they could name if you asked.
This ebook takes the techniques apart one at a time, with examples and drills. Surprise is the engine underneath every one of them, and the rest of the book is about the different ways to produce it on purpose.
Written for anyone who has thought of the good line twenty minutes too late.
