A Note From Jerry
In my experiences on the road, in the studio, in writer’s rooms and in meetings with comedy writing legends, I’ve collected and refined joke techniques, comedy formulas and performance techniques and have laid them out in a way that allows the beginner to understand the science behind the art and for the experienced writer or comedian to add to his or her experience and heighten the response received from an audience. My sole goal is to provide the comedian or comedy writer with all the tools they need to truly command their ability to write jokes and comedy routines on anything they want, whenever they desire.
