It is often suggested that there are 'secrets' to comedy or that it
is 'lightning in a bottle', but the craft of comedy writing can be
taught. While comedic tastes change, over time and from person to
person, the core underpinning still depends on the comedic geniuses
that have paved the way. Great comedy is built upon a strong
foundation. In Writing the Comedy Movie, Marc Blake lays out - in
an entertainingly readable style - the nuts and bolts of comedy
screenwriting. His objective is to clarify the 'rules' of comedy:
to contextualize comedy staples such as the double act, slapstick,
gross-out, rom com, screwball, satire and parody and to introduce
new ones such as the bromance or stoner comedy. He explains the
underlying principles of comedy and comedy writing for the screen,
along with providing analysis of leading examples of each subgenre.
