 Rating: - A goldmine for the beginner!I'd done two open mic spots before getting this and let's just say they didn't go fantastically! With the help of this book I have managed to write some fantastic new material. All of which I managed to mine out of my own head thanks to the techniques I picked up form this book. I would recommend this to anyone who has suffered with the dreaded writers block, as it offers all kinds of writing ideas that will get your creative juices flowing again. While there are a lot of useful exercises for the individual working alone, there are twice as many for those working in groups (No use to me but great if you're working with other trainee comedians!). Even so, there's plenty for the lone writer to get stuck into, including a complete set building workshop. This book follows the standard format of the Teach Yourself range which is easy to follow and packed with handy tips and words of wisdom from other comedians. Taking you from the history of stand-up through comedy theory, joke theory & routine building right up to stagecraft and the all important business side. Rating: - The best all-inclusive starter guide money can buy..I say the best all-inclusive starter guide *money* can buy, having said that bartering or exchanging love or other goods might find you a better guide. This is a fantastic book - giving you a good guide of basic how to do everything on stage - from mic usage to pausing and working the room - as well as excellent stuff on how to generate material and ways to come up with different ways of doing the joke. Oh, and afterthought everything. Rating: - I want my money back...I did Logan's comedy course and died on stage... That I died on stage is no surprise but that I managed to get the bottle to do it at all is a testament to his great teaching skills. This book gets the message across well but there's nowt like giving it a go - highly recommend the Amused Moose courses... Rating: - EssentialAs well as being a stand up himself Logan Murray has been running the Amused Moose beginners comedy course in London for some while. So walking newbies carefully through the minefield of comedy without the loss of comedy limbs is his speciality. I would thoroughly recommend the book for anyone toying with the idea of giving stand up a go or for beginners on the circuit looking to polish up their act.
