“This book is brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Not only is it very funny, but it also provids a detailed game plan for creating comedy. Not easy, of course, but a wonderful step by step recipe. It helpfully analyses the many reasons WHY we laugh, and offers hope that even a layman can learn to be funny in their own writing.”
