An examination of the art of stand-up comedy, its constituent parts and how they work
Considering stand-up comedy to be an art-form deserving greater attention and analysis, Getting the Joke provides an exploration of the work of the stand-up comedian. Beginning with a brief history of the art form, the book goes on to examine the key elements, such as the comedian's stage persona, their material and how this is generated, the art of performance, their relationship to and interaction with the audience, and the development of stand-up skills. The book draws on interviews with many of the leading stand-up comedians, including Jo Brand, Alexei Sayle, Ross Noble and Rhona Cameron, and contains detailed analysis of examples from both the British and American markets. Aimed at fans of stand-up and aspiring comedians alike, Getting the Joke is the first book of its kind to offer an accessible and engaging analysis of the art of stand-up comedy.
By the author of Stand-Up: On Being a Comedian - 'a fantastic book for anyone who's got any interest in stand-up comedy' (Mark Lamarr)

Getting the Joke: The Inner Workings of Stand-Up Comedy
Judge each by his own time, but even then this isn't that good. These guys were purporting to be rediscovering the art of comedy in the eighties. I'm not convinced that many of this generation would have got a look-in today. However, they did pioneer and create the circuits that we know today in the UK.
As for the subject. Yes, you do need an Attitude. It's called 'finding your voice'. It can take months or years. This guide might shave some time off that, or it might take you down the wrong path - I've seen that happen.
