"I bought this book hoping for practical tips and writing exercises as I believed that would be a subset of "Successful Stand-Up Comedy", but that turns out not to be the case.
To quote p. 58 of this book: "The techniques and skills of creating comedy are beyond the scope of this book. However, for those who are interested in writing their own routines, I'll unashamedly recommend two other books that I've written."
The book is advice about being a stand-up comic in the most abstract sense, interesting, but nothing you can immediately apply to your material or performance.
3 stars because Gene Perret has been there and hearing his war stories are interesting."
