Stand-Up Comedy

Your most important tool. Carry it everywhere to capture funny observations before they disappear. Jokes live in the moment — a notebook catches them.

Record your sets with decent audio so you can actually hear your timing and delivery when you watch yourself back. A clip-on mic makes a real difference over your phone speaker.

A surprisingly deep book about why things are funny and how to be funnier on purpose. Not a joke book — a framework for thinking about comedy that actually changes how you write.
