Product Description
Synopsis
This funny book about being funny aims to show how aspiring comedians can find a sense of humour and presentation style, market their act and contact agents. It contains interviews with 16 famous stand-up comics including: Jeff Foxworthy, Drew Carey, Carrot Top and others.

From the Author
Your Guide Into The World of Stand-Up Comedy
How To Be A Working Comic is meant to be a fun, supportive and informative book about the comedy industry. It's based on my experiences as a Talent Coordinator in New York and Los Angeles, (TV's "An Evening At The Improv"), and talent consultant for many television and film productions. There are almost two dozen in-depth interviews with "working" comics who share tips, advice, personal career experiences and laughs. Included are Drew Carey, Tom Smothers, The Amazing Johnathan and many more, along with a forward by Ray Romano from "Everybody Loves Raymond." Enjoy!
