If you're a comic....you need this for your collection., Jan 13 2009
By RockyTopper "Tim Steed" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Comedy Writing Step by Step (Paperback)
I had CWSBS back in the '90s...worked my way through the book and I mean worked. Great for someone new to standup or for a pro that wants to brush up on some skills.I took some classes with Gene and the guy knows his stuff. This is kind of the old style of standup comedy, but he does get your mind thinking...and about setups and surprise punclines.
This is a review of the updated book, but really, it's kind of the same as the old one, but with some thoughts from some new comics.

Nice book, buy it if you are only a beginner. It's good for those people who just want to start. If you are already a comic and you know about writing, I will recommend COMIC INSIGHTS by Franklyn Ajaye, it tells you about view point of other comedians.
