There are a number of books on comedy and how to do it, but none has the breadth and authority Rosenfield brings to his theme. Forty sharply written chapters cover every conceivable angle of the joke and how to tell it. Mastering Stand-Up draws on Rosenfield's own extensive experience (and those of countless stars like Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, Rodney Dangerfield, Louis C.K., Steve Martin, Roseanne, and Johnny Carson) to show the reader-and would-be comic-what works, what doesn't, and why. Book excerpt: Stephen Rosenfield, founder and director of the American Comedy Institute, the premier comedy school in the United States, has taught literally dozens of major standup comics in North America, and has also pioneered comedy as an academic discipline in many universities, a trend that is rapidly spreading. This book was released on with total page 272 pages.
