Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-20 00:00:00 Ronen Banerjee This book is well worth reading, he's a very intelligent and thoughtful man, that's actually a rare combination for most comedians. You can tell he's analyzed and dissected comedy very deeply, I came upon some interesting observations about humor and comedy from this book and learned much about Allen's comedy roots and history. He's pretty much a clean, safe, kinda square comic, not my style, but he knows his craft and was a true pioneer.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-03-28 00:00:00 Daniel Fayfar Well, I didn't think there was a way to make humor un-funny, but it turns out that analyzing the crap out of it is the way to do it. This book was pretty dated, too. I probably would have gotten more out of it if I planned on being a professional comedian.
