The Best Comedy Books Every Comedian Should Read

Often times comedians think that they cannot learn from a book. That comedy has to be tested and tried in front of an audience before they can confirm what they were told works, actually works.I am a big believer in learning from others before me. This means mistakes, surprises, and success. With so many books available to comedians I wanted to highlight books that can teach you about the art and science of comedy as well as some books that have become income sources for comedians because they took the step of writing everyday and learning that comedy doesn’t just happen on a stage or screen.
