Customer Reviews

A must have for comedy aficionados

For anyone interested in what the life of a standup is really like, this is an excellent book. The stories of John Wing's development as a comic are both entertaining and interesting. His assessments of others involved in the business are very frank, sometimes brutally so (did I mention it was interesting?). This book will also be of interest to those starting out in the standup field. Although it's not written as a how to book, it contains excellent advice. A thoroughly enjoyable read from one of the top working standup comics today.
