Synopsis
This work breaks down the basics of writing comedy into simple steps and shows how to make the most of your individual comedy writing abilities. It starts with the basics - writing jokes and short pieces - and then develops into writing sitcoms and full length routines. There are ideas on how to tailor material for radio, TV and print. It also discusses the practical aspects of turning comedy writing into a career, and offers suggestions on how to make contacts within the business, follow up leads and market your material effectively. This updated edition looks at the latest developments and markets for comedy from the Internet to broadband and interactive TV.
