Comedy has always been one of the most high-profile, glamorous and
potentially lucrative markets for scriptwriters, but it is also
perceived as one of the hardest. In the fourth edition of this
highly regarded handbook, John Byrne breaks down the basics of
writing comedy into simple steps and shows you how to make the most
of your own comedy writing talent and - just as importantly - your
ability to market that talent. Here is a wealth of practical advice
both on how to get your career off the ground and how to keep
developing it. Whether you are writing comedy routines, sketches or
sitcoms, and aiming your work at the page, the stage or the
ever-expanding world of broadcasting, you will find something in
this book to encourage, inform and inspire you. As with any art
form, the basics of good comedy never go out of fashion. While the
easy steps in this book are illustrated with examples of work by
classic comedians old and new, you will also find useful advice on
developing and adapting your work for the twenty-first century
market, whether your aim is to promote your work online or simply
to keep your gags fresh and topical in a world where the news
changes by the minute and gets flashed around the world in seconds.
